Thread: Parallel connection to laptop and computer

Hi,
I am using a Sony Vaio laptop(XP Home) and a pc(XP Professional).
I have a siemens c2110 modem to connect to the internet.
One machine is connected to USB port and the other is connected to the ethernet port to access the internet. but i am unable to access the internet at a time in both the systems.Can we connect the two machines at a time to internet without any router? If yes please help me.
TIA.

you need to configure your modem to ppoe mode.read this C2110 (Type-A) ADSL MODEM MULTIUSER CONFIGURATION .. follow from step 17

Thanks,
I have gone through all the steps but at the last it is mentioned to connect to the router but i dont have a router.

whats the make and model of your modem?

If you want to connect your laptop wirelessly you would either need a modem with an inbuild wifi router or if your modem doesnt have a wifi router you can buy a wireless router for less then Rs800. Net gear routers are pretty cheap.

go through this guide

In short: just configure your modem to pppoe mode and the prolem will be solved

Sorry I didint realise that you had mentioned the model no in the first post.

Check out the tutorials posted by Just4kix here (Solution for multiple machines connecting to same BB connection)

Thanks a lot i am able to connect to the internet from both the machines at same time. :-)
Now my next problem is:
I have a mac book pro also. Can i connect to internet from Mac book pro via sony vaio(it is having internet).

sony vio & mac book uses different operating systems so better option would be to use a wireless router.i am not familiar with mac OS X so don't know how networking works.try to go through help to see if there is some option to connect to a windows network.

How you connect to your laptop, through wireless ???

In which mode is your modem setup, PPPoE or Bridge ??

Configure your modem as per the link in PPPoE mode and connect your laptop in wireless.

Configuration for WA3002G4
