I would like to network couple of computers together but
need some help. I'm trying to setup Internet connection
but it uses PPPoA connection. I think I need the right
equipment but not sure what I need. It's a USB modem with
Windows XP Home. Any suggestions?
 
I have setup a little network at my house using ppoe
connection for my DSL. The easiest way for me was to go
and buy a 4 port broadband router for about 60 bucks.
Linksys makes a good one. It has any easy config for
setting up a broadband connection.

Hope this helps.
 
Most routers that I seen don't support PPPoA. I would
like to find a router so I can get my machines connected.
I would like it to be a wireless network. If anybody can
provide me with some routers that would be helpful. If
not wireless, any router will work as long I can get
these puppies network. =)

Hi! are you familier with pppoA connection?
seems to me you would beter setup home network without
internet first, manually setup ip address, make sure all
in the sme group.
(exampl;IP:#1pc:99.99.99.1,#2PC:99.99.99.4,#3PC:99.99.99.7
#4PC:99.99.99.10 the last numbers each to one PC)
(and submask # 255.255.11.11, all the member of the group
have the same submask #)
set the fastest PC for server,(share internet connctions
let others connect to internet though it) and rest as
guests,will connect though the server and share
connection bandwidth
