Thread: wireless and ethernet

have a desktop connected to Dataone Broadband. A few shared systems are also connected to the desktop thru wired ethernet.
The lan machines connect to internet thru my desktop via a proxy server software installed many years back.I am planning to buy a laptop with a wireless lan and do away with the present desktop.
I have gone thru a few how to's on wireless networking of Broadband.
My question is- Is it possible to connect to my lan machines and the internet simultaneously using the single wireless lan ? If so, how.

@scaa: well iam having same issue plz follow this thread http://www.indiabroadband.net/bsnl-b...html#post19575 (help!! wired and wireless connection simultaniously??)

hope it works soon

since you want only an answer.. yes.. its possible.. setup the router correctly..you need to use ppoe and also make sure the ips and stuff are right.. and it should work

pppoe mode

most probably you are using bridge mode & one computer as gateway which is connected to modem.if you want to connect your laptop to a wireless network you first have to use a wifi adsl modem(type II or IV from bsnl) or add a wifi router to your present setup.if you wish to add a wifi router then just4kix here knows about almost everything regarding such setup.on the other hand if you are going to use a wifi modem then if you know how to configure it then configute it for pppoe mode.enable DHCP in modem,computers & laptop & after that laptop can connect directly using wifi while to connect computers use a hub/switch which will distribute the ethernet connection coming from modem to switch.

edit---didn't saw your post.just ignore the bridge mode using part.
