2 wire 2071-a modem and multi PCs?
Hey all,
I thought I would try my luck here as my ISP (bigpond) will not respond. I simply asked them to please advise me as to what extra hardware is required to get 3 PCs to share internet via bigponds 2 wire 2071-A modem. (ADSL) I have a spare linksys SD205 5port switch if that can be utilized. All PCs are running XP (home & pro) Any help is muchly apreciated. NT. |

Re: 2 wire 2071-a modem and multi PCs?
I lived in Aus for 30 yrs and found Big p to be painful, to say the least. Have a read here:
:http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/AS...nnorswebguidec It would appear you just plug it in and it self configures. |

Since that unit is a one port router, just connect the switch and go.

Thankyou for the quick responses,
OK, I will attempt it, and get back. NT. (I wonder why it is so hard for ISPs to respond to their own customers)

Re: 2 wire 2071-a modem and multi PCs?
Back again,
Thanx heaps guys, it worked a treat! I can't believe it was that simple. On one computer I recieved a conflict error, and was offered a "repair" option which was resolved effortlessly. The 3rd computer requires a longer lead (cat5) but I can't forsee a problem after the ease of connecting the other 2. Thanx again guys, Your bloods worth bottling!! NT.
