Thread: Sharing Mtnl Broadband on 2 Desktops

Hello Ppl,
I have taken a new Desktop for myself.Now i have 2 machines at my place what i want to do is to use internet on both the machines.My ISP provider is MTNL.I have a D-Link GLB-502T Router and 8-port D-link switch.
What i want to know is how can i make internet work on both my machines and are there any settings that i need to mention it in my Router or do i need to buy a 4 port router.
If i am using a switch will it affect the browsing speed if i am simultaneously using internet on both the machines??
Or if i just put an extra Lan card on one of my machine and share internet connection what speed will i get??
Please ppl help is really appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

better to share via switch than adding an extra LAN card , do you use a dialer to connect to the internet currently?

I am using a GLB 502T modem thats the way the mtnl provide internet rite??

Well I also agree with superprash2003. Vicky.. it would be nice if you follow superprash2003 advise.

@vickyinstru2000
found your thread..you already own a dlink router and a dlink switch right?

Yes i own D-link router & D-link switch

so just connect the router to the switch and connect the 2 desktops to the switch and it should work

I believe you also have usb port in router.
So simple connect one computer to Ethernet and other to USB
enjoy! both are now connected to internet now.

correcto..

nothing more to be done.. :54:

Guys i did connect my both machines to the switch both machine can access internet but i am not able to ping both the machines.
Can u plz tell me what exactly needs to be done so that my both machines can ping.

Scenario :

From Router (D-link) one connection goes to switch and from switch two connections goes to my both the machines.
Router ip : 192.168.1.1

PC 1 ip : 192.168.1.3 Default Gateway & Primary dns : 192.168.1.1
PC 2 ip : 192.168.1.4 Default Gateway & Primary dns : 192.168.1.1

This is how i have made my connections correct me if i am wrong.
Every1's help is appreciated.
