India Broadband Forum

I find this forum very useful. And folks around here is very knowledgeable. I need your help as well.
I am using STERLITE SAM400 modem for you BSNL broadband. I have 750 Unlimited plan. I want to connect my home laptop through cable. And ,I want my 'office laptop' to be connected to internet at home through WiFi. I want both this laptops to be connected to internet at the same time.
I have tried with Bridge configuration (use username and password every time I connect to internet), it works, but only one laptop can be connected at a time. I tried with PPoE configuration as well. But here, only my home laptop works. I am not able to connect to internet in my 'office laptop'. Though, my 'office laptop' will show as 'wireless network connected'.
My internet Protocol (TCP/IP) properties as set to "Obtain an IP address atomically" and "Obtain DNS server address automatically". The similar setting is also there for my 'office laptop'.
Can someone help. Appreciate it.

I am not finding that option under "WAN Setup". Though, I have entered userid and PW in wan page.

Confirm you are on Dialer Mode
( enter userId and PW in computer Window )
OR
"Always On' mode ( UserId/PW entered in wan page of modem )
The screen shots you have posted for the modem and TCP/IP page does not appear to tally.
2. In the wan page there is "TRIGGER"
connect disconnect.
Click Connect and see.

Post ipconfig /all
( NO EDIT)
for BOTH home laptop and office laptop.
Procedure:
STARTRUN type cmd
OK.
New window opens
type ipconfig /all
COPY/PASTE HERE>

2. presume You have enabled DHCP in the modem
and give a range say 192.168.1.3 to 192.168.1.10 ( upto 254)

Both laptops/computers
.
Your Office laptop :
Does it show the WIFI network name you had given/entered in router ?

If Home Laptop works in WIFI mode ( with lan port rj45 removed)
connect Rj45 to Office laptop and confirm you can
connect to Internet.
Wifi will /should/must/work !
