Two accounts on one ASDL line

--Tony--

Can this be done?

Let me explain. My company has a Onetel ASDL line in my house which I uses a VPN to the office.

If I plug my home PC into the router it shows as connected but cant connect to the internet etc.

So could I ask Onetel for another internet only account on the same line so in the evenings when my work PC is turned off I can use the same line to connect to the internet? I could of course get my home line changed over but then I have to pay the fees to have it converted to ASDL when I already have a line in the house.

Thanks

You cannot have 2 adsl connections on one phone line - you either need to be able to connect sucessfully to your current work adsl connection - or get the other phone line converted to adsl

You should be able to use the OneTel account on your own PC too. Are you sure you have the correct log-on details?

I'm assuming on your work PC, you use a connection to OneTel, and then make another connection into your work network via VPN? Or by connection to OneTel, do you automatically authenticate with your work network?

when I plug the work PC into the router it comes straight up as connected to network. I then make a secure VPN to the office via the Cisco VPN Client.

The router connects to one-tel so I guess my home PC can't talk to the router for whatever reason.

I have plugged two work pc's into the router without a problem.

with your home pc - is the network port enabled? and also, have you made it so that your home pc automatically gets the network settings from the router - and isn't preset to some values?

The port is enabled and when I plug in it comes up local area network connected at 100.0 Mbps.

Not sure about you next bit though?

If I click on tcp/ip it says obtain IP and DNS is that what you mean?

Messenger keeps trying to connect but cant so it clearly thinks there is a connection and IE says the page connot be displayed -the apge your looking for is currently unailable.

also on properties, if I click support it tells me the assigned information:

Address type assigned by DHCP
IP address **.***.**.**
subnet mask ***.***.***.***
default gateway **.***.**.***

so I guess its getting the information from the router.

Maybe the router is set to not allow any connection excet through the VPN, is that possible?

Any ASDL experts
