Can you run more than one internet connection on   one modem?

It's actually possible with some broadband routers. If it has both a usb and an ethernet connection, try installing the usb on one and the ethernet on the other.

I think you have a USB type cable modem.  This plugs into a USB port on your pc.  This one piece of hardware will allow you to connect two or more computers together and share an internet connection.

Yes it is possible.  If you are using a windows network, the   configuration is almost identical to that of having 2 wired computers. \n\n1. Configure all computers on the network to have the same workgroup\n\n2. Enable file and printer sharing on both systems\n\nThe configuration all depends on which operating system you are running.

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.

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."

No, you are better off with a Router, and SPLIT the broadband connection.  If you really wanted a second modem, you would also need an additional phone line.   That would double all of the costs.  \n\nThe router also establishes a local area network, so you can share files and printers.  I recommend LinkSys\n\nGood luck and Happy Computing!

Yes,  call the ISP you got the modem from.  They will walk your through it step by step.

Yes, it is possilble to use two or more routers with one DSL line. All you have to do is change each routers' default IP address to something that wouldn't conflit with the DSL modem. For example, if your DSL modem has 192.168.1.1, change the routers' IPs to 192.168.2.1, 192.168.3.1, etc.

are you talking about allowing 2 other computers with dialup access to connect through your phone line while you're also connected? well whatever the case is, dialup only allows one computer to be connected to the internet at a time, unless you have multiple phone lines. if you only have 1 line and your computer is connected, no other computer in the same home can connect at the same time you do.\n\nalso, now the price of the slowest dsl, which is still tens of times faster than dialup, is about the same as most dialup services. why not make the switch?

The COM port that a modem is connected to also has an IRQ assigned to it. If modems are assigned to the same IRQs as other devices, they must use an alternate IRQ. Fortunately, many of today's modems are capable of addressing alternate IRQs. It is very important when assigning IRQs to make sure no two devices will need the same IRQ at the same time.\n\nCheck your device manager and make sure you don't have conflicts. control pad-system-hardware-device manager

Yes, absolutely you can do what you want.   If the computers are near each other, and near the cable modem, then the easiest way is with short Ethernet cables and a router.   The router connects to all 3:  to the modem, it looks like a computer, and to the computers it looks like an internet connection.\n\nYou can also do this with a wireless router.  It works the same way except that radio communication is used instead of cables between the router and the computers (The router is still connected to the cable modem with a cable).  However, you need to get a wireless card for each of the computers, the router you'd use is slightly more expensive, it's not quite as fast, and it raises potential security issues.   The security problems can be solve, but it's an additional thing to worry about.\n\nSo, assuming the distances are short, you should buy something like a 4-port router (made by Linksys, Netgear, and others).  Make sure it has a firewall built in (they pretty much all do).   Do NOT buy an Ethernet "hub" or "switch": make sure it's a router.\n\nIt'll probably come with a cable to attach it to your cable modem.  You probably already have one such cable, so may need to buy one more.   (You'll need 3 all together for this set-up.)\n\nThe fact that one machine is a PC and the other is a Mac shouldn't matter at all.

if ur computer has built in ethernet card, then u can connect them both by using crossover cable... its the cheapest way i know.

Yes you can, either buy a cross over cable, or make one!\n\nThe cheapest way and, not always the most appealing method\n\nClip the following wires in half.\n\nSolid green\nSolid orange\nWhite with green stripe\nWhite with orange stripe\n\nNow cross these wires as follows:\n\nSolid green on end one crosses with solid orange on end two.\nSolid orange on end one crosses with solid green on end two.\n\nWhite with green stripe on end one crosses with white with orange stripe on end two\n\nWhite with orange stripe on end one crosses with white with green stripe on end two.\n\nYou can use this method to splice the wires instead of getting a crimper, but it is advised to solder the wires together, and cover well with electrical tape, or shrink-wrap.\n\nThis is a bit ghetto, but informative I suppose.\n\nRun the Internet connection sharing wizard in windows.\n\nDo keep in mind that unless you use the USB cable supplied with your modem "I do not recommend" you will need two Ethernet cards in the PC connected to the modem.\n\nOne for connecting to the modem and  one to connect to the other computer.\n\nMyself I prefer using a router, ICS is just not reliable enough for me!

I am not quite sure, but lets do\n- Right click on My network places\n- select properties\n- Right click on the modem connection (dial up connection) you made\n- select properties\n- Now, as i remember, select advanced then share this connection\n- and go\n\nXLMan

A modem should do it...

each device pulls a seperate IP address.  Once you modem picks up one many cannot automatically switch between devices.  You can get a cheap router($40) that will split that signal so you do not have to reset.  A router works like a cable splitter for your TV.....\n\nWireless will help as long as both your PC and Mac have a wirelss card.  About $60 a piece

you can use multiple computer just one internet connection \n1 - create a local net work  by connecting computers \n2 -  create a connection to inter net in one computer \n3 - find connection sharing  in your connection from conection peoperties \nturn on check box :"alloew other computer to use this connection"\nall connected computer connect to internet via this connection with network \nif your dsl modem working  with rj45 connection you must use two  NIC (networl card) one for dsl modem and other for connecting to other computer
