Unless you get a router, there is not much help we can give. I would recommend buying a Netgear WRG614. You can then follow my instructions in the link on the post above. If you are having problems, let us know what the problem is and we'll help.

Note: If u have the client logged in on 1 comp dont do so on the other.Incase of queries pls fell free 2 post them .

hy see first u connect the sify cable to the WAN port of your router, then in the configurations setting of the router set the WAN setting as static ip and put in the details of your sify account .. like the ip they gave you the subnet, and the default gateway etc. and on ur desktop as well as the laptop, in the tcp ip settings assign the option automatically detect ip settings. do not change the dns server address .. on all other pcs u are using for example the wireless laptop use macmakeup (refer the post mentioned above) and change the mac id and use the sify client normally

hope u figure it out

Im having a sify broadband cable connection.the problem is that Me n My brother both have a laptop each . And we want to connect the same connection with both the laptops with an option of using either one at any time or using both at the same time(at the cost of splitting the speed) . My local sify man suggested buying Netgear switch n i did it too (so foolish of me) .. now he is saying that i will have to keep one laptop ON if i wish to use to second one ..The Whole purpose gets defeated here. I wish to know if there is a way to connect both the laptops to the same line n using any one or both at a time without having to wake up my brother n askin him to switch on his laptop if i wish to use mine !

gurpalsc · 06-25-08, 01:27 PM

i understand that the sify works on MAC address.
But once i plug the rj45 in router and sify grants access to this mac address. but then how iam gng to connect.
do i have to run the cient frommy laptop. if i do thi sthi laptop will get connected to net.what about if i have to add another laptop can the second laptop loggin to wireless connections available. thro the router?>

aks27 · 06-29-08, 12:38 AM

sify does not grant access 2 your router .. the dialer sends the MAC ID so effectively the computer you have used to connect is the one whose MAC id is being sent

aks27 · 06-29-08, 12:43 AM

so follow the method mentioned above for solving your problem

How does sify broad band connection use in wireless connection in home and how does it work in institutions.

gardencityboy · 07-10-08, 03:15 PM

as sify uses MAC address binding
in the WRT54g router you have option to perform mac address cloning
clone the mac address of the client which was used to register and you should be able to connect

im using sify broadband on two laptops(one at a time)..im planning to buy a netgear wgr614 router..ive being browsing this forum for configuring the router.

My doubt is,after connecting the router to sify cable we have to call sify and register the router's mac address,now can i use both the laptops on wifi,bcoz we can register only two mac addresses with sify and here there are three one of the router and other two of the laptop.

U need to register the mac address of the router only with Sify. The rest of the devices are connected to the router right?

Update:
see P0ST NO 4 by @admin
====================
the SIFY bb cable is connected
to (a)a cable modem
or (b)adsl modem
(c)direct Rj45 to computer ethernet port ?

You can shift the RJ45 from computer end
and connecting to LAN1 of wifi router.
From LAN2 rj45 to computer again.
Test if OK
Try wifi.

Post this data: in LAN mode or WIFI mode
Start RUN type cmd type ipconfig /all

netgear wgr614 wireless router
Usually it will be the modem's gateway IP
enter sify's static IP here.
DNS usually opendns 208.67.220 .220 and 208.67.222.222
I have the same wifi router details if required.
Beetel110BX==Vonage=== netgear wifi wgr614
192.1681.1 192.168.15.1 192.168.2.1
laptop 192.168.2.2. WIFI mode )

Para three: post in this forum.

I tried connecting the sify cable to one of the LAN ports. Connectivity works only when I set the desktop/laptop IP also the same. In short, the router works as a switch.
