I've got a DSL modem and a dsl router. The modem connects into the uplink jack on the router, of course, and my 3 computers connect to the other jacks. Each computer works fine independently, but I lack enough "logins" to run 2 at a time. I thought my router was supposed to take care of the IP masking, but it obviously doesn't. What to do?

I don't understand why you need the DSL modem if you already have a DSL router. The router should have a connection for the DSL uplink and several downlink ports for the computer. It should be doing the NAT for all the computers to connect to the internet through the single DSL line using the single account.

Are you sure what you have there isn't a router but rather a hub or a switch?

A modem is still required, the modem takes the line from the phone jack and then your run your cable to the modem. I dont know of any routers that act as a modem as well. But there are routers that do act as a hub or switch.

Blah, Blah Blahh, Blahh, blahh blah blahh, blah blah.

So your saying that you can log in with only one machine at a time with your router? What brand and model# router are you using?

Blah, Blah Blahh, Blahh, blahh blah blahh, blah blah.

Well I myself don't have ADSL, but My friend has a dlink router that has an RJ11 port that has a cable connecting it directly to the phone jack. So, I was under the impression that all DSL routers are like that.

Hell, put another nic in your machine and connect the network through that and enable ics, simple.

another thing.

a router is used to

- comunicate with the Web by a multiple input/output accesses.
- have an ips/domains table which must be update everytime (with the other "web" routers).
- have a lot of "router" protocols to communicate/admin itself & the other routers on the web.

if you haven't anything of that, maybe its not a router but an ADSL switch.

Nope, why would you think I was?

That's a pretty well-used expression in the US (or at least in Portland). In this case, sort of like saying like saying "I don't know why I haven't thought of this, but...".

There are some DSL routers that are also modems but you obviously can then only use them with DSL unlike the other routers that are more common that are for both cable and DSL in which you also need your modem in front of the router.

My signature really sucks.

a DSL router needs to be configure for the DHCP service (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol).

the ip address of each comp. is required by your DSL router to a DHCP server each time one of yours comp. is accessing Internet (because each comp. must be recognized by its own ip address on the web).

subsequently this involves that the DHCP server gives to your router a dynamic ip address that your router associates to your comp.

if now, you have 3 comp. which are accessing Internet at the same time, they must have each an dynamic ip address.

this is because i think you have a DSL router DHCP setting issue.
