Dialing up 2 Streamyx accounts using the same phone line

If you are lucky enough

to have 2 TMnet Streamyx accounts,

and you wish to dial both of them using same telephone line,

the answer is: You CAN do so!

These are the experiments that I’ve done with:

Experiment 1: (Success, no drawback)

Equipments:

1 x 5 port LAN switch – such as DLink DES-1005A

1 x modem – such as Riger DB102

1 x wireless LAN router – such as DLink DIR-300

Insert the telephone cable into modem，

LAN port of modem is connected to switch port，

One of switch’s LAN port is connected to router internet port，

Switch’s other LAN ports can be connected to computer that is used to dial the second line.

（Maybe can be more than 2 lines, each computer only can dial-up 1 line）

Modem’s function must be set as ‘bridge’，

that means we need to manual dial-up.

For wireless router, we can set it to auto-dial mode.

Computer which is connected to switch can dial-up the other account then!

Note：This computer is not in the same network as the other computers connected by router.

Experiment 2: (Success, but not fully success, side effect is wireless instability)

Equipment:

1 x wireless modem，like – Innacomm W3100

1 x LAN switch，like - DLink DES-1005A

The hardware setup is like usual.

Telephone line is plugged to wireless modem，

Wireless modem’s LAN port is connected to switch LAN port，

Switch LAN port is connected to all computers.

Only static IP address can be used here.

Again, wireless modem is set as ‘bridge’.

Now, make one computer as host

Host computer must be connected to switch using LAN cable.

Dial-up Properties setting is as figure below:

Example of Host IP configuration:

IP address: 192.168.0.1

Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0

Default Gateway: 192.168.0.1 （following own IP address）

Example for those computers that connect internet through the host computer:

（same for wireless）

IP address: 192.168.0.2

Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0

Default Gateway: 192.168.0.1 （following host’s IP address）

To dial-up another account,

the computer’s IP address needs to be static too, as below:

IP address: 192.168.0.2

Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0

Default Gateway: -

I’ve tried both these methods.

For the second one, it is working,

but I’m not sure whether is

Innacomm W3100 wireless modem’s problem

Computers connecting using wireless keep disconnecting,

Damn it ><

If you’ve tried the 2^nd experiment,

and if your wireless network is stable,

do tell me which equipment(s) are you using,

and how you make it~

Now I wish make an advertisement:

Who has extra wireless router (I don’t want Wireless Modem Router)to be lent out?

Or having wireless router

But only need one LAN device to surf internet,

do contact me please~~

Thank you.

p/s: Some people ask for reason doing this way,

the advantage is

one line does not affect the other line.

While one is downloading heavily

another computer using the second line does not feel the lagness.
