if u have the modem combo router with 3 ports,
make it to autoconnect,
and then connect all pc to router,

sorry if i'm not understand what do you want to do

just trying make small Home LAN.. but no need "switch" and no need another NIC for server.. mean they connect together..


another but different question:
can laptop be a server? my laptop got 1 NIC, and Wireless..
how to setup LAN connect with 2 PC's(client)

it can be a server... but do u want to leave ur laptop there forever?

yap.. i got another laptop for travelling..
how to setup small home LAN? tq

my friend just bought a LAN network card. after plug into the pci slot and installed the default microsoft driver, there's no light when LAN cable is connected to it from the ADSL modem or router (use straight cable). pc to pc also no light (use cross cable). what's the problem?

dear sifus,
i have aztech 600eu with router, usb & lan connection. i bought new notebook with wifi so i plan to make the modem wireless. my question:
- should i buy new modem router with wifi to replace the 600eu modem or should i buy only wireless router and use with the current modem?if to buy wireless router, does it mean i have to "on" both power supplies for both part?

thanks for the help

yes. u have to ON the power for both

so my router kinda suck when it comes to bittorrent connection. already punched holes on the necessary ports, ports are checked and is forwarded properly. but still, connection is kinda crappy.

so, here's the plan.
i got 2 notebooks and 1 desktop. get a pci wifi for desktop and set an adhoc/ICS connection. propably with my desktop as the server, its on and used most of the time.
maybe i could trade with my sister for her laptop and save some electricity, though i already built the machine with power consumption in mind.

and sell that stinking prolink brand router on ebay for cheap or con someone

should i get pci or a usb dongle? i heard some usb dongle heats up.

or should i get a new router? linksys with linux

the adhoc solution is way cheaper, and a sure solution. a router is still cheap but 2-3 times the cost of adhogging
don't want to spend unnecessarily, and use my ps3 funds

oh, speaking of ps3, does it do ad hoc? or i need a router?

the network is just simple web browsing, share videos

yes or no.
other solutions?

//edit

decided to get a nic card for Rm18 and ics it. just turn off router's dhcp server.
i win

My current setup:
One regular USB ADSL modem, Two Notebook(with wifi)

my Q is when my notebook-1 connect to the modem whereby the modem only has one USB port, can the notebook-1 share out the internet connection via wifi, so tat my notebook-2 can access internet?

what's the difference between router and switch? i search through the internet (can't remember the website) and the answer is Intelligence. but i still don't understand.
my friend's house has a modem & a switch. 4 PCs are connected to the switch and online to the internet. but no router involve. can any sifu explain?

wanan ask do hub(or is it called switch?) will affect BT dl speed anot... as i using a hub and all my BT cant move T.T

hub may seriously affect the speed. but is there any sifu can answer my question up there?

let just say switch is an expandable or extra LAN port when you're running out on empty port and it provides full speed in theory 10/100/1000Mbps compared to hub where the bandwidth is divided among available port

where as for router,is kinda switch but more intelligent where it can interact more than 1 LAN.Normally it connect between the LAN and WAN.it knows where the data packets going to and from who and send back to its original sender.

your friends are using the ADSL Modem that came up with a routing function.

Well, my friend is using he ZTE modem from the streamyx package.
Since a switch is just enough for ICS, then, why so many people buy router when they only have one network of PCs?
