Sentech Modem: does it support multiple PCs

[stickman]

I used to have ADSL from Telkom, but I'm switching to Sentech's wireless. I have multiple PCs and with the Telkom Ethernet modem I used to be able to connect 2 PCs to the Internet. The question is now can I do the same with Sentech's wireless when I'm using the Sentech modem?

Oh, the bitter(sweet) irony of having to lament the loss of the skill of being able to read at a time and place like this... *sigh*

But seriously, stickman- in a word: yes. (it just depends on how much you want to spend vs. how much work you are prepared to put in to solve the problem to your own personal satisfaction.)

Yes

I run 3 PCs with sentech with a wireless lan connection.

Solution is Wingate

Download Wingate and set up one of your PCs as a proxy server that connects to MyWireless modem. Enable DHCP and voila. This can be done the legal and recommended way (buy Wingate) or the alternative liberated way (crack it).

Now why do you want to go to all that trouble

The modem itsself will only support a single PPPoE session, thus you need a device such as a router (LinksysWRT54G or similar) to route/NAT the traffic from the PC's on your LAN.

Why not hook the modem to a Linux machine, and set that up as router, firewall, packet blocker, etc. Saves bandwidth that way as well!
