Thread: want to connect desktop and laptop to Bsnl broadband simultaneously

hi guys,
i have a huawei wa1003a modem.its a wifi modem.
my internet connection is working fine with desktop until this problem occured.
i recently bought a laptop(dell xps 1530 with vista installed in it).when i connected laptop to net through wifi ,it worked fine.but from that day,my desktop is not connecting to net.
can u tell me the procedure, so that i can use the net simultaneously on desktop as well as laptop..waiting for ur reply guys...

First off all you will have to configure your router in PPPoE mode that is always on if in bridge mode.

What error are u getting while trying to connect your desktop..?

refer this:

WA-1003A MULTIUSER CONFIGURATION

Solution for multiple machines connecting to same BB connection

i am getting error 678..while connecting desktop to net..

See first of all you will have to configure your modem in PPPoE mode that is always on if not configured.

In PPPoE mode you dont have to use a dialer to get connected in desktop, it will automatically get connected and you can browse.

Just refer the link for your modem and configure it in PPPoE mode if not.

can u give me the link pls

WA-1003A MULTIUSER CONFIGURATION

my desktop is trying to connect to thru wan miniport(pppoE)..but not able to connect...pls help me out.....mu laptop is connecting and working fine

You are using a dialer from you desktop to connect internet thats why you are not able to connect.

I am again saying there is no need to use a dialer from desktop to get connected if your modem is configured in PPPoE mode.

For you help download the flash file with hands-on experience of how to set up the modem.

Download Flash File (6.36 MB) and go through it.

CONFIGURATION - WA1003A (FLASH - Hands-on)

my desktop is trying to connect to thru wan miniport(pppoE)..but not able to connect...pls help me out.....mu laptop is
connecting and working fine

1. try this in Desktop.

Any error message ?
2..
The little I know about Dataone Broadband Services offered by BSNL
Appears you are already in "Always On"
PPP/PPPoE mode ( YOur UserID PW entered in router)
and
Not "Bridged " Dialer "Wanminiport" connection.
If WIFI works modem already connected to Internet.
Disable the Dialer in desktop.
(Start/Network/ show all connections
disable Dialer)
Again
Start / Network/ LAN
properties
Network settings
TCP/IP
properties
Select Obtain Ip address automatically.
Now both Desk top in LAN mode and laptop in WIfi mode should. work.

Feedback
Start RUN type cmd Ok
New window
type ipconfig /all
copy paste data for desktop and laptop

if i done the modem configuration same like the one in flash file, will i able to connect both desktop and laptop to net simultaneously.

It's possible that your wireless card is incompatible with WPA. How old is it? I'm sure it handles WEP (oldest one) so I think, if you configure your router to WEP instead of WPA then it will work, if all else fails. Good Luck.

Really sry to bother u guys. yes it has WEP. Can u give me the step by step procedure to do that.i followed all the things given in the above links with no luck... it says connecting thro WAN miniport...and not connecting...
