Speed Stream working as a ROUTER

[fnd07]

Does anybody here know how do I do to make my SPEED STREAM DSL MODEM works as a ROUTER???

I have a 5 computer network and would like to put it in my switch to share my ADSL connection and I still need to know do I do to limit a specific portion of my band (512Kb speed / 4) for each computer?!?!

Any help will be welcome

thanks for your help....

I dont think you can do that. A modem just takes the dsl and turns it into one IP address. You need several IP addresses so you need a router.

And a switch is just a smarter version of a hub....so it doesnt mess with IP addresses, it just duplicates the ports etc.

you need to actually install a 2nd NIC card into your computer, then you can use your COMPUTER as a router.

Edit: posted in wrong thread sorry.


Might as well toss my two cents in here. You could use the 2 NIC method, but you would still need more NIC's or a hub for the other PC's

yup,
I have the speed stream and you can't do that. Like Fofo said: install a 2nd NIC in one computer and have the other computer run through it . it will be the router or get a hub or switch to do the same thing. I have 3 computers on a hub/router then from hub/router to speed stream for my connection.

Actaully technically some of the speedstream models (like the 5200 for example that I have) can be configured as either a bridge or a router depending on what firmware is flashed into them. But basically all ISPs including mine ship it with the bridge. I did try flashing the router firmware, but I couldnt get the settings to work so I just put the bridge mode firmware back on it and bought myself a real router

I already got some instructions to update the firmware and make my speedstream 5200 DSL Modem work as a router...
I still need to try it (perhaps today)....
Thanks you guys for your help...

Really? I've got the SpeedStream 5200. I also have a Linksys router already so would there be any point in me doing that?

Thanks,

No problem SeanC...
The problem is that the link is in Portuguese ...
If you need some help remember that I'm from Brazil....

Note: I already tested it and it's really functioning, but ANY PROBLEM in your Modem is your responsability...
you will have to update the firmware from your Speedstrem, but you can test first to see if is really necessary to update the firmware. I have read that some modems from Canada and USA are already BRIDGE AND ROUTER...

Eu uso Velox com o SpeedStream 5200, baixei o programa para atualização do firmware, mas quando ele executa informa:
XIO Modem No IP Address

Já tentei off-line, on-line conectando direto do modem para a placa de rede com 192.168.0.1 e sem endereço IP na placa também. A mensagem é sempre a mesma.

Só não tentei desinstalar o programa da Telemar (EnterNet.exe) nem os drivers PPPoE. Eu uso o Windows 2000 e ele não permite finalizar o PPPoEService.ex mesmo que eu não esteja com o Velox conectado.

Há necessidade de desinstalar estes softs para realizar o upgrade?

Eu utilizo o Velox normalmente com 2 máquinas e a seguinte topologia:
Modem ligado em um switch 10/100 Biccnet (no uplink).
Placa da máquina Windows 2000 na porta 2 do switch com compartilhamento da conexão ativado e IP 192.168.0.1 (gateway da rede local).
A segunda máquina (dual boot Win98 e Linux) ligada na porta 3 com IP 192.168.0.2 apontando para o gateway (em Win98) e no boot Linux IPs 192.168.0.3-12 também apontando para o gateway e rodando DNS, SMTP, POP, HTTP, FTP, SSH, Samba, etc. tudo isso com um domínio esquecido pela FAPESP (está ativo mas ninguém usando, exceto eu...).

As vezes eu conecto outras máquinas (limitei minha máscara em 255.255.255.240 para não causar um overhead) desta forma o IP 192.168.0.15 fica para broadcast e a Netbios funciona tranquila.

Tudo funciona sem problemas, mas tá na cara que um IP válido fixo ajudaria bastante, mas que eu pudesse trocar para bridge em caso de emergência ;-)

Os links que você informou eu já conhecia (já fui até no suporte da Efficient Networks) mas não consigo fazer o raio do Upgrade.

Nota: meu modem é da série E240...

May you help me?

PS. Os gringos vão ficar meio atrapalhados com tanto texto em Português, mas pelo nível das perguntas anteriores acho que eles não entenderiam mesmo que eu escrevesse em inglês.

Abraços,

Marco
