Hello, new and looked around here, but couldn't get an answer and maybe someone can help me get my head around this, somethings not clicking.

I also would love to contact my ISP, but they are less then adept, and there is a slight language problem. I'm in E Europe and have Ukrtelecom ADSL, service is not a great point with them.

So I have had an ADSL connection thru a PC and an ASus Pocket Access Point, has been fine so far. Now I have another PC to add, which I've done thru the AP and it works the same BUT, whenever I try and connect on the 2nd PC with the first connected I cannot. This is, of course, because I have to login with a pass and id, and only one can be logged in at a time.

So how can I work around it? I've tried setting up the network with the wizard, and I can share files and such, but still cannot connect. I thought if I connected with the 2nd PC thru the first I wouldn't have to login to browse, but I do.

What am I missing. There's tons of stuff about setting up the network, but can't seem to get anything to work.

Hope that makes sense and someone can point me in the right direction.
 
Try and set the ADSL connection to connect on its own it the internet. From what it looks like you have a pc with the adsl modem attached. Then connecting through a PPPoE session. If your ADSL modem says its also a router then it can connect on its own without the PC.

Connect the Asus AP to the DSL modem/router. The bottom line is that you want to remove the PC holding the adsl connection. Then we you reconfigure network both pc's are just clients.

EDIT: MyADSL must be working if its starting to get overseas questions.......
