What do I need to buy for PPPoA dial UP Home Network

[ChiknHead]

title says it all. I have a Speedstream 3060 internal modem now.
I need to share internet/printer with another PC. I cant do the 2 NICS and
crossover cable method I need to go another way. Help anyone please.

Thanks

The best solution is to buy External Ethernet DSL Modem, and a Cable/DSL Router.

Such a solution will cost you about $190.

Otherwise, it is double NIC with ICS, or Sygate that claims to work with one NIC.

Sygate® Home Network

No other magic is known.

The problem I think I have is...
Im on PPPoA dialup DSL connection.
Will I be able to "dailup my connection going
thru a router to the modem?

The Modem has to come before the Router. Unless you have External DSL Modem , you can not use Hardware Router.

I dont have external yet, but I dont mind buying one I just need to
make sure I buy the correct hardware. I didnt know if my computer
could find the modem to dialup if it had to go thru a router to find it.
If thats not a problem, then Ill buy an external dsl modem and a router.

If you have an external DSL modem (or get one) and router, the router can do the 'dial up' and connect the DSL.
I have a Efficient Networks or SpeedStream DSL modem (forgot which one) and a Linksys 4 port, the router keeps the DSL line on all the time for my 3 PC's

k thats what I needed to know. Thanks for the info. You dont happen to
have Bellsouth DSL? (FastAccess)

also does that router let you share printer?

get the Alcatel Speed Touch Home, it will cost exactly $125 from BSFA or you could try to save 10$ bucks on ebay. The linksys befsr41 is a good choice, yes I believe it supports printer sharing .. well hope this helps, good luck ..
