When using a DSL line in a house, can more than one person be logged on at the same time?

If there are other pcs connected to your dsl you must have either a wireless or wired router! If wireless, run the networking wizard on the LOL" reinstalled" PC! If its wired, connect the wire and do the same!

If your brother has DSL or Broadband, he could be logged on even if he's not in town...All the highlighted thing means is that the computer is online and messenger is engaged. Mine logs on as soon as I turn on my computer, I don't even have to sign in. He could have just forgotten to log off, then he would still have been online, but idle.  It's not great for the computer becuase spyware can get into the system, but a lot of people stay online almost all the time.

Yes, in fact you can have dial-up and DSL on the same computer on the same phone line.  I use the dial-up modem for my fax.

you cant really do that...\n\neach program you use uses your DSL to the maximum of your connection, or to the maximum that your program will let it, or to the maxiumum incoming connection.\n\nYour DSL is already maximized. The only way it can be limited that you can control is if in a program settings there is a "cap maximum download/upload rate" and it will create a ceiling limit.\n\nBut most of the time you are downloading something from somewhere, and you can only go as fast as they can send it. If you are uploading, you can only upload as fast as your DSL lets you. In either case, you are at the maximum you can possibly go.\n\nIf you are only using a little bit of your total connection at a time, you can open more downloads or uploads at once to use more and more of your connection, but it will not speed up any downloads you have.

You could log onto the routers maintanence page and see wh ois connected to it, and see fi it has a logging function you can use to see who logged on previously.\n\nThe best way to stop other people to use it is to change the "SSID" name to one only you know, connect up your laptop and the turn "SSID Broadcast" to "off" so nobody can see yoru signal unless they know what it is called.\n\nUsing security like WEP etc. will also help stop unwanted people

discofro, my dad asked me to try this with his connection. We had two computers, each with an ADSL modem conecting to the master socket via a two way gang plug. It was a BT line and AOL broadband. The answer, unfortunatly, is ONE. Once one is connected, the other will not connect no mater how hard you try. Your conenction and setup may wield diffrent results however.

Not sure if this will help, but this recently happened to a friend.\nTheir situation was similar, where they kept having issues trying to connect multiple wireless devices.\n\nLooking at their router setup, someone had locked down the number of addresses the router would give out via DHCP.\n\nIt was locked down to give out only 2, and since their desktop would take one, once another device came on line, no one else would be able to surf.\n\nSo, check your DHCP settings, and see if it is limited.

Yes, you can do it.  Just set up more than one user account, and tell the computer to use different settings for each user.\n\nI'm not entirely sure, but I think you can find these settings under "Users" on the Control Panel.

No, but you may have to consider what equipment you attach to your LAN. You need to consult your ISP, modem documentation, or the modem's website to see if it has a router incorporated into the modem. They do this so that you can have the protection of a Router with NAT. Quite a few DSL providers hace modems with the feature. If it has a router incorporate into the modem you will only need a hub*, switch**, or wireless access point***. I have BellSouth DSL. I requested a wireless modem&#92;router and they sent me one at no cost. \nIf you do decide to add your own router and the modem has one incorporated into it, your ISP will have to talk you into changing the setting to allow the new router to work with your current system.

not unless you log in on seperate cpu's....can not be log in more than once on the same screen .... if you open new windows for each log-in i think it will accomplish what you are looking for

yes, or set up a router to automatically assign ip addresses as the computers connect. good luck.

you can have more than one id but not on at the same time. you have to sign one out and the other in.

DSL should do the trick

Depends on wha the isp offeres, really. Almost all home users have a dynamic ip, which means they have one ip, but that ip changes from time to time. To have multiple ips you would need to have been assigned multiple static ips, which never never change, and you'll almost always need to pay more to get that service, if the isp offers it at all.

It depends on your ISP.  Some will just charge you more for having 2 at the same time.  Others will break the first connection when the second gets on, but most ISPs do something to discourage the practice because it's "freeloading."
