RE: OT Sharing a Broadband Connection

["UKHA" <mailinglists@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

That's a slight over simplification there...

Some questions...
How many actual PC's will be using the adsl connection?
How well to you know/trust your sharers?
Are there any teenagers involved?
How much cash do you have to spend on hardware?

Tracey,

do you have a wireless router already ?

i assume thats 60meters .. not 60miles ?

you'll need a wireless router (i have a netgear dg834g at home in my front
room, and i can walk down next to the river and use my laptop there which
is
around 40m, but i have to walk down steps which brings me around 20m below
the height of the router) anyway, you may need an extra arial which would
be
omnidirectional.

as the router is the dhcp server each pc would then pickup the relevant ip
address, set IE (or whatever browser) to auto detect

i've just config'd my router to only allow mac addresses thru.

dont know if this is of any help.
Jonathan

I want to share a 1M broadband connection between four or five people
within
a 60m radius.
These are all separate households so it would have to be done
wirelessly.
I've spent some time trawling the web looking for advice on how to do it
but
I don't seem to be able to find anything relevant to sharing between
households.

Can anyone give me a pointer please?
