How to Connect Two Computers Via BSNL Broadband n share files simultaneously ??

[saboo.dinesh]

Hi
I have two desktop separated 25 feet (XP, internal lan port ) . On one I have a 256 BSNL home plan broadband.
1. I want to connect broadband to both Pc's via single connection such that both Pc's work individually without any disturbance to others one.
2. want full access to the other computer , sitting at any one computer.

there is no security problem in file sharing as both pc's r for home use.

Plz write in simple language as what to do.
can i play multiplayer games using my two desktop ??

For full access, you can connect them via networking. You need a router for connecting more than one computer to one internet connection. Yeah you can play multiplayer games if you connect them in a network.

Thank You for your reply ...i know its through networking only .. but what is the cheapest and easiest way to have full access...??

Networking is a huge topic...where to find the solution ..

does the type III or IV modem provided by BSNL solve my problem...can i share files using such modem( r the two type mentioned above router cum modem)??

try star topology with a hub/switch.

LOL,
there are quiet a few solution, cheapest and best solution for you is buy a 5-port switch and 2 LAN cords. Make the connections of the system.

Now you lan is ready. You can put the the lan cord from BSNL ADSL router connecting to the switch. This will make both systems to have net also(even if the internet is not working you will have local LAN)

Otherwise make your whole setup wirefree, buy a good wireless router.

BSNL works very well in all cases.
If its Airtel there are a few limitations on connections but not for BSNL. I do not need the limitations as you are using BSNL,

And good solution by acewin. I stuck to the theoritical solution because I have no experience in making a network, but I knew it could be done. :)

no more cost, no more wiring.
im using with pc and laptop with wifi through bsnl midem only, no router/ switch extra,,,,

I do not have much of networking knowledge..but just wondering if Win XP MSTSC (Remote desktop connection) would work between two PCs that are connected to each other thru LAN?
In my office as a single user I find using mstsc a good way to work on two PCs and share data.

[acewin]

yup it will work.
both in ethernet lan and wireless lan. you wont need to setup anything.
BTW I do not see any USB port in my BSNL modem.
