Mention your modem model/make.

use LANport/USBport for type I
or LAN1, LAN2 etc for type IV modem/routers./wifi routers.
Wireless options also available.

A very good and meaningful post by essbebe keep it up!
Just in short, basically all you have to do is to connect your modem to PPPoE mode. thats it
@amitkool21
Why didnt you took a thorough look at the site especially in the "Broadband How to" section?? That would have helped you
U need to configure the router/modem to work in pppoe mode. Then only u will be able to connect and use two or more pcs.
well... i use 3 computers including my laptop using the same connection -> this is how i do it ...
first u need to get a 4port/8port switch of any brand preferably netgear/dlink
simply insert the main wire coming out of the modem/router to one of the ports of the switch and then connect the two pcs via two different wires from the switch ...
to make it more clear here is a pic of my setup ....
the black wire is the modem wire ...
this is how they do it in cyber cafes ...
In simple words:
you need to buy a multi port router or implement Internet connetion sharing but it would require a extra lan card
ICS can be implemented but the server always needs to be online for other PCs to connect to the internet. But with multiport router the router need to be online only.
if ur having type one modem/router(shoulb be in pppoe mode) then u have to purchase 4 /8 port hub to work two pc on single broadband and if ur having type -II modem then it is already having more than 1 ethernet port so configure type-II modem in pppoe mode and use more than one pc on single bb
just simple
cost of 4/8 hub is not more nearly 300-500 bugs.cable from modem i.e ethernet cable terminated in hub and from hub u can connect 4 to 8 pc
hub and switch is same thing
and u said is useful only when he is type one modem if he is having type two modem then as i already said use pppoe and use it
ok tell me what is this rep power
yes you have the flexibility to put different speed caps for different pcs.

The cost of hub + cost of modem >>> (is greater than) cost of router !! So its wiser to spend directly on a router.

again go through the process with the pic i posted ... only the modem/router needs to be on ... and u can connect as many pcs as there are ports in the switch irrespective of any other pc...
U are just confusing the whole process. U have a modem and a hub. U connect the modem to hub and connect the rest of the pcs to the hub
Instead of investing on two items (modem and a hub), routers which does the function of the same are available. U can connect as many as 4 pcs to a router. Besides the router gives much functionality than modem-hub combination such as load balancing.
ok...got ur point ...wasnt aware of this ... i just shared my way of doing it ... does these routers give you the flexibility to put different speed caps for different pcs??
Yes. They do. Atleast D-Link routers do. Speeds can be assigned for different pcs, websites can be blocked.
more on router u can get here
Routers
well i think to get the websites blocked one pc need to work as the server ... without keeping the server on u cannot use the connection on other pcs or can we? then how will this site blocking thing work??
Dont know how it works, here is a screenshot for the same from my router.
