RE: Re: OT Domain/workgroup Naming Question

["Nikola Kasic" <nikola@xxxxxxx>]

I'm not sure about ADSL route. I have ADSL modem and then it's simple. I'm doing it using ICS (internet connection sharing). Just enable sharing on your dial up connection (on server with modem)

All the clients (laptop) must have "obtain IP address from DHCP server) and as a DNS server you put DNS servers of your ISP (BT probably).

With the router, I think it should be even simpler. You should put as a default gateway router's IP address.

Cheers,

Nik

Hi Mark and Nik,

Many thanks for the responses. Not sure if you saw my follow on
message which explained a bit more about what I am trying to achieve.

http://groups.yahoo.com/groups/ukha_d/message/42802

I am not interested in being able to access my home network from the
laptops or laptops from the home network. What I need is to be able
to connect the whole lot to the Internet using one router.

Unless that is there is a way of connecting more than one router to
an adsl line?

Regards

Paul

work from cold when you bring the laptop home. (I used to understand
why - all I can remember now is that it's to do with a pair of hard-
wired 12 minute timeouts in the Domain Master Browser calculation
algorithm.)

Windows looks for SID associated to that domain, not a domain name.
You'll still have to create machine account in the home domain and
join them although the domain names are the same.
