Sharing a line (2 modems, 2 account, 1 line)

[eremos]

Hi guys,

Is this possible as posted above?

We've been waiting for our ADSL line install for 5 months, while our neighbours already have those. Is it possible to connect our modem up to their line? Or can you only have two connections from the same modem?

Telkom says there's a problem at the exchange and it could take days, weeks or even months to sort out, so we're looking for alternative solutions in the mean time.

Many thanks,
E

Cant connect 2 modems onto one line, but with bridge enabled on the router u can have multiple connections to different isp's at the same time from different computers...

You can only have 1 modem on a line at one time. You can network your computer with your neighbours and split the costs.

Bridging

Thanks guys,

Can you give me a little bit more info on bridging? I've had a look through my ADSL modem config (Billion 7202GR2) and can't quite figure everything out. For one, I can't find where I would enter my username and password, or specify which connection should be bridged to (or receive the bridged connection).

Does that make sense?

For example, as I understand it, it goes for my neighbour:
Line --> Modem --> Network on ports 1, 2, 3
Line --> Modem --> 7202 on port 4 --> Our network

Where is the username and password specified, their modem or the 7202?

Thanks,
Henning
