ok As Hulo pointed out that poster happens to be me ..
I have 2pcs at home and one mac and one wifi access point
I got a 2mbit plan and BSNL people gave me 880 modem
I connected the modem to the splitter etc etc and then using a normal ethernet cable ( not a crossover cable as mentioned here ) I connected it to a switch ( 6 Port Hub). After that I did the settings in the modem and set it as pure bridge.
and then from the 2 pcs .. I setup a PPaoe Dialer .. and connected my both PCs with independent ips no problem.. them from my mac running tiger I did the same and finally from the airport express also too.
Finally I had 4 ips from bsnl.. alll at the same time
Everything was running smoothly without any breaks
but one fineday I saw only one of my pc is connected to net and rest all are not working
I tried everything after that but all in vain
now I have connected the modem to airport express and set the airport as dns provide .. which is serving private ips to 3 computers..
I know there is not much of a difference between the private ip and public ip for daily use
but think of a scenario where you need a port on all three pcs..
suppose I use ftp on all 3 and for to connect to a remote server I need ident server which runs on port 113
from the airport ... portforwarding utility I can only forward port 113 to one private ip only not all..
so this is why I was looking for 3 public ips..
Also BSNL says the business class is mulituser enabled whereas the home plans are not
what does they mean by it
as is shown in this .. anyone can connect as many computers as they want on home plan
I thought only difference was that multiuser plan will have multi public ips
but thats not working for me anymore..
anyone here has any clue.. ? here
but please dont tell me again that I am confused
if i am doing something wrong let me know
that will be of better help
Thanks
