Thread: problem sharing net with Netgear FS608 switch

Hi,

I've recently taken a "Wi-max" connection. I have 3 pcs in my flat. I am trying to connect all the three to internet using a "Switch" (netgear fs608) and the tata indicom modem . I was "NOT" given "ANY STATIC IP". Looks like i may not get it in the near future too . The core of the problem is: When one of the system logins into the dialer page successfully, the other cannot login, it says "Incorrect Username/Password". I m well frustrated. Can any plzzz help with this issue.


Thanks in Advance

the problem is not with your netgear switch. even i use netgear switch to do the same. i think you need to configure your connection to set it like always connected as soon as the pc is turned on. i am not sure how to do this on wi-max. you can see this post on how to share connection using netgear switch : http://www.indiabroadband.net/bsnl-b...tml#post101586 (help me for using 2 PCs)

The modem can be connected to the switch. Disable the DHCP functionality of the switch and assign static IPs for the three PCs. U should be able to share the internet connection amongst the three PCs.

how do we disable the DHCP functionality of the switch.. the netgear menu has no such option. Still waiting for a working solution []

i dont think there is any such option to disable DHCP functionality in a swtich - at least netgear switch. i mean, from where do you adjust such properties of a switch. plz tell me if i dont know this, i would like to update myself.

avoid posting duplicate posts.

I have this PHIPHONG 802.3af adapter. Is this a ADSL modem ?? how do i operate one of my PHIPHONG 802.3af adapter/netgear F608 switch in PPPOE mode..

sorry for the duplicates.. that was unintentional

That doesnt seem to be an ADSL modem. It maybe something like a wireless repeater.

for all the victims of tata indicom broadband.. Analogx has come as a blessing on us.. this is a proxy server..
download it from :

hey guys, when u share wimax with a wifi router, u will login to tata home page on any one laptop or computer, the rest of the computer will be connected to net after this process. U dont need to login to the home page again on yr second or the third pc

Because the connection gets shared in the other PCs

The host PC only need to authenticate the connection. Since the rest of the PCs are connected by switch, others need not log in every time. They can start browsing straightaway.

ok... gotcha ... that means host pc needs to be on if connection is to be used on any other pc ..

As its act like proxy for others, didn't it the connection would active

Authentication must be done to establish the connection with the ISP, right? This is done by the host pc. Once the connection is established, it is being equally shared between the other PCs.

hmm... thanks a lot for explaining to my silly little queries...

Everyone was silly once in his lifetime. There used to be a time when even me was a complete newbie in this field..

Hi Satya,

You can ask TATA to provide you static IP. I has a same issue with wireless router & they gave me a static IP.

Now with no problems... it works fine
