ADSL Modem

I have a desktop PC connected to an ADSL modem.
The Modem is a D-Link DSL 302G which can be connected via an ethernet or usb connection.
Currently this modem is connected to my desktop PC via ethernet connection.

Having recently purchased a HP DV1000 laptop with both ethernet and usb connections am I able to connect both PCs simultaneously to the internet via the modem mentioned above. One via ethernet connection and the other via USB????????????????????????

Thanks

According to this Linkyou should be able to.

 

Thanks for that info.

I had tried to set it up but obviously have not appropriated the correct settings.

I have forworded you link to my ISP requesting info on correct settings.

Thanks

 

This is not a ISP issue, does your router have a NAT option in the settings ?

 

Paul,
In the link.....that was a bit of a pun I thought, you provided, to me it indicates that the MODEM should serve 2 computers.

I have no router.

Alernatively the link indicates to me that the modem can serve several computers with a wireless router.

As I only need to serve 2 computers the USB and ETHERNT connectors should as I understand it, provide that option.

I have used this modem for a couple of years now...no problems.
I also use ZA and Avast for protection.

I find your "sig" rather interesting....If it is not true for you, it isn't true. My wife believes that also but is not a scientologist.
I checked in on your LRH link and was mystified by the opening statement below.

The Scientology religion comprises a body of knowledge extending from certain fundamental truths. Prime among these:

Man is an immortal, spiritual being. His experience extends well beyond a single lifetime.

What I don't understand here is that other than just beleieving this for convenience sake how is this statement of presumed fact established as truth after all people previously believed the world was flat and perhaps many still do but other "indisputable" criteria is in conflict with those "beliefs "
and suggests that the world is round.
Fair enough for self to believe whatever we want but does that make it true....maybe only true to the one that thinks that way.
I worked with a guy once who was not sure whether we were really there based on his belief that perhaps we were only believing we were.
I suggested he hit himself with a hammer to find out but he continued to present his view that he might not truly feel pain but only imagined it.
My next suggestion was that for me to steal his possessions and just let him imagine it.

TonyT,

You in no way offened me or came across overbearingly. You owe no apology.

It was just that the cliche "If it is not true for you, it isn't true." was so familiar to me, as explained that it aroused my curiosity to follow your link.

Understandibly the topic of scientology is too much to discuss on an open forum such as this and is not a topic I would endear myself to anyway, though thanks for the invite.
