Sharing internet connection.
Everything is on a Hub or Switch
Connect all Ethernet cables (PC and ADSL) to a hub or switch. The hub or switch can be any model UTP based HUB preferably with a uplink/MDI crossed connector. You will need the uplink connector to connect the ADSL connector. If your hub does not come with such a connector, you should buy a UTP crossed network cable and use that instead. Your hub should have at least the amount op PC's plus 1 (ADSL) UTP ports.
- The ADSL cable goes to the splitter.
- The ADSL modem is connected to the splitter.
- The Ethernet cable from the modem either is connected to the uplink UTP connector of your hub, or - using a UTP crossed cable - to a regular UTP connector.
- Each PC is connected to a regular UTP port of the hub/switch.
- Each PC (maximum of 4!) should be configured as a ADSL client as described by your provider. Each PC should have an unique IP address.
advantage :
- simple setup
- no server needed
- configure each PC manually
- only one PC at a time can be connected to MXStream
disadvantage:
- max. 4 PC's
- fixed IP-address for all 4 PC's
- Dial-in required per PC
- no proxy
- hub ports = number of PC's + 1
