The problem is that your modem/router is configured as a bridge and you have to dial-in using a PPPoE. This will work only for one laptop/desktop.

Configure your type IV modem/router in PPPoE mode (always ON connection). Using this method, the modem dials in automatically and sets up internet connection as soon as it is powered on. Just connect your laptops to the modem/router (wired or wireless) and you are all set. There is no further requirement of dialing from laptops as this is already done.

Note that your internet bandwidth will be shared by all the machines connected.

The Siemens SL2-141 device is a modem + router with wireless functionality. The modem's function is to dial-in and connect to internet; the router's function is to assign unique IP addresses to each connected device and route the communication from connected to devices to internet or other machines in the network.

When you dial for the first time, the modem is free - it dials and connects you to internet. Now if you connect another machine to the network, you cannot dial in again. The modem is already busy and hence you will get "phone busy" error message.

To setup and always on connection, reconfigure your modem to select PPPoE method. Here is the Quick Start Guide and here is the User Manual. Refer to the quick start guide and page 37 of the user manual.

Note that VCI/VPI values should be 0 and 35 respectively.

Thanks buddy
but plz can u tell me it short as am not good in netwrking so how to connect 2 pcs simultaneoulsy.And automate dialing thing.

As I said before:

a) Configure your modem/router in PPPoE mode so that it can dial automatically. In this mode, it will connect to internet as soon as it is powered on.
b) Whether your machines are connected, powered on and you have logged in to Windows, will make no difference to the modem/router; the modem/router would already be ready to serve you for internet.
c) As soon as you log in on your machines and connected to the modem/router (wired or wireless) you are ready to surf. There is no need of dialing anymore.

It will be difficult to guide you step by step as I do not have your modem; but I have seen the guide and the quick-start guide is particularly good.

u can use a proxy dialer to do so

How? And why? Why introduce another factor into a simple setup. The idea of a Home network should be KISS (Keep it Super Simple).

Now what is that.... Can you explain it a little bit..
