i'm needing to set up a DSL modem, to which the computers connect through a router. all the computers are running winXP. is it possible to configure only certain computers to be allowed to access the internet, with password prompt? how so, or where can i find a tutorial on this?

You can limit other computers to have internet access but it is impossilbe to prompt them for password unless you have a domain controller and setup the computer policy but these will be more complicated.

If you are using a router it should be connected to wan port, so all computer connected to it are capable in accessing the internet but still depend on the configuration of each computers, if you want remove internet connection to some other computer you should configure the IP and the GATEWAY, including the DNS setup. remove the gateway to the specific computer and it will not be able to connect to internet.

I will do search for additional info for this and post it here as long as I found useful one... smile.gif

um, yeah, the password thing i guess is kind of redundant. more applicable would be to have one main computer that can control the other's access. thanks for your help, and i look forward to more of your posts.

Your best bet there would be a linux router. The other computers will connect through that router to the net. However its not as easy as this, your modem needs to be able to relay DNS and gateway information, you'll need multiple network cards etc...
If you only want to disable some computers then the easiest way is to block their MAC addresses which most modems and routers can do.

  7. Can't Configure My Router With Aol

    with no problems. Here is the setups (Like I said I am new to routers) DSL modem > Router >

  8. Slow Connection With Linksys Wrt54g Router

    Hey there everybody! I need some help. Here's the problem. I have a Linksys Wireless WRT54G v5
    router, which, I think, is acting up. First of all, I can't get port forwarding to work! About
    three month ago my port forwarding was working flawlessly, I could use download clients like DC++,
    or BitComet, or have an ftp server running, etc... Now, whichever ports I use, nothing seems to
    work. Plus, in clients like DC++ where you're connected to several hubs, the connection to the
    hubs is constantly dropped. On top of that, the joke's on me actually, becaus....

    hopefully solutions with no luck on the solution part I decided to chat with Linksys. The guy I
    chatted with suggested that I should try changing the router's IP address to 192.168.2.1 instead
    of 192.168.50.1 which I had set it to before. In my ears the tip sounded like rubbish, but I gave it
    a try and it actually seems to be working. A sufficient amount of time hasn't passe....
  10. 2 Computers On Same Router, By Different Speed
    (3)
    I have two computers on the same router. My Comcast advertise a max of 6 mbps. On testing one of my
    computers I get 5.5 mbps. On my other computer I only get 4.6 mbps. I am using the on board NICs for
    both computers. I got these numbers based on several runs on several days. One motherboard is Asus
    P4T533-c with a built-in Intel pro-100 ve NIC. (5.5 mbps) The other motherboard is GA-8IHXP 3.0
    with a built-in Realtek RTL8139/810x Family Fast Ethernet NIC. (4.6 mbps) Does anyone have any
    idea why one computer is faster than the other? I used nyc.speakeasy.net to test ....

    afraid another Linksys product might cause the same problem. However, as Linksys is part of Cisco, I
    feel a certain sense of sercurity in Linksys products. I'm not sure which brands I should get.
