Thread: connecting laptop and desktop simultaneously in bridged mode????

i am having utstarcom wa3002g4 modem

i wannt to connect my laptop and desktop simultaneously in bridged mode to h500 connection

i tried in ppoe mode on the modem and it works, but in bridge mode it doesnt i can connect only one either my deskop or laptop



so is it possible,?

To connect more than one machine, you need to be in PPPoE mode. In Bridge mode, you can connect only one machine at a time.

the thing with pppoe mode i cant connect disconnect manually without reebootinng my modem or unplugging dsl line

i am on limited plan so want to connect and disconnect to make sure there is no extra bandwidth consumed

so is it possible to connect/disconnect the connection in modem page ie 192.168.1.1
i have two option dial on demand and manual connect

i want to know wether they r the option to connect/disconnect connection

You will find an option to disconnect in the WAN page. You can disconnect by simply switching off the power button in your modem. I am also in PPPoE mode and switch off the connection by switching off the power button.

You can use Imran's Broadband Helper Utility to disable the NIC card if you wish.

Imran's helper utility is quite non-easy for first timers.. tell them how does it work..comprehensively..pls.

There is no need for Imran's. That was an add on information. It is better to power off the modem. Easiest and simple.

But if someone slept, or for ex at night/downloading sessions?

Try this

internet_guy first tell me do you have switch
If you have switch you can connect from bridge mode with one computer and run 10 Computers at a time. Just like what you want. You dont need to reboot your computer or need to disconnect from Router's GUI web page. You can disconnect your PPPOE from your desktop just Like in bridge mode. But for this you need a 5 or 10 Port switch and remember only 10 Computer runs at a time. Not more then it.

I think you dont need a switch because you have Router with 4 Lan ports.
If you really need to set up your Desktop to share the internet with your Laptop from the Bridge mode then PM me I will tell you the process.

yes i have modem with four lan ports and wi-fi also....and i may not need a switch as my friends with same connection and modem are using net simultaneously...the bsnl guys seek some money in order to change the settings so that i can surf simultaneously on many systems....i think its some basic settings but i donno what exactly it is....

to reboot modem

1. set the below url as homepage in any of the interet explorers
2. schedule the internet explorer at specific time

192.168.1.1/rebootinfo.cgi
note: everytime interet explorer is run, modem will reboot.
