i had posted this msg on the networkign forum but no replies...i think i get more replies on the offtopic forum so here it goes...
I have a pc and a laptop and i connect to my dsl with it. I got a laptop and wanted to share the dsl; these are my settings/hardware
pc with win2k pro; dsl thru swbell in austin, tx and enternet v. 1.5
on my network and dial up connections i have the following:
local area connection 2 :Kingston EtherRx KNE111TX PCI Fast Ethernet Adapter.
local area connection 5: Efficient Networks Enternet P.P.P.o.E Adapter
and the new nic card is
local area connection 6: D-Link DFE-530TX+ PCI Adapter
now, i'm not sure which of the three am i supposed to enable the sharing with. Also not sure if i have to put any manual ip addresses on
any of those connections....
i tried the enable sharing on connection 2 and that didn't work...also, not sure if i'm suppose to enable anthing on the laptop.
i've gone to a couple of websites where they have some info but none of them talk abou tthe pppoe, and i don't know if that's any
different.
Also, i just noticed that the cat5 cable that came with the dsl modem is a bit different than the one i bought. The one what came with the
modem says 4PR cat5 and the one i bought says 2PR and is not as thick as the other one.....i guess this could be a problem..
HOpe somebody could help...
thanks
