+++ Manas Ranade [PLUG] [27-04-07 01:27 +0530]: | Hey folks! | | Following some previous posts, I've concluded on a strategy for | setting up a home (net connection sharing) network. Thought I'd brush | past u guys once before I shell out the money. | | I have three machine: | M1 - running windows and no wireless support | M2 - running windows and with wireless support 802.11 abg | M3 - OpenSuse 10.2 with wireless support 802.11 b | | A broadband connection with Motorola SB5100 cable modem | I do not have a static IP | Protocol used is PPPOE | | Using this setup: | | |--- M1 | INTERNET === Cable Model ---- Wireless Router -|--- M2 | | |--- M3 | | 1. I have an ISP provided login program which I use to connect from | windows machines, from Suse I use rp-pppoe. Would I be able to get all | the 3 machine on the internet at the same time using this mode of | connection? | | 2. Would any additional configuration be necessary on the three machines? | | 3. The wireless router in picture, could it be a: | a. D-Link DI - 524 Wireless Access Point Router (approx Rs 2.7K) | b. Linksys Wireless-G Broadband Router WRT54G (approx Rs 3K) | Any reviews?
I would recommend linksys. WRT54G can dial to your ISP using PPPoE. It has also provides DHCP server. No idea regarding DI524. shantanoo -- Never appear stressed in front of a client, a customer or your boss.
