internet sharing

Funkmaster · 21 jan 2004

i have a question, i have three computers and one internet outlet at the wall, usually i connect the utp cable to the outlet and the other site to the network card of pc1, which was configured with ip/dns etc and then shared the internet with pc2 and pc3 through pc1, so pc 2 and 3 had c-class ip's, which also means the total bandwidth i had, was shared among those 3 computers, which kinda sucks

anyways recently i got xtra ip's so i can assign pc2 and pc3 "internet-ip's" (pc1 xxx.xxx.xxx.24,pc2 xxx.xxx.xxx.25,pc3 xxx.xxx.xxx.26), but i still only have one outlet were the internet is coming from, i want to get sumthing like a router or switch which enables me to connect the cable from the outlet to the device and connect the computers to the device so i have total bandwidth on all three computers, so that actully each port in the router/switch or whatever is handled as its own network, so not to share the bandwith, is that somehow possible?

Most SOHO routers won't support such VLAN features on each LAN port, most expensive Cico routers do, but that is some other leage...
There is only 1 SOHO router available now that has these things:
(english)
https://www.draytek.co.uk/products/vigor2900.html
(dutch)
https://www.draytek.nl/vigor.php?show=2900
It is available with and with WiFi.
Also available in the netherlands, take a peek at: https://www.routershop.nl

hey

first of all thx for the fast help, i checked out the site, i'm a little n00b to this area... anyways as i understand it the vigor2900 will enable me to create vlans on each port, but does that also mean if my internet connection of 5mbit will be shared among the 3 pc's or eacht port will have its 5mbit (after assiging the ips etc i spoke of earlier)?

Yep, you can limit the bandwith to each port to an amount, from the uk site:
Virtual LAN (VLAN) & Bandwidth Throttling
The Vigor 2900's VLAN facility enables you to segment each of the router's four RJ45 Ethernet ports, so that each is a separate virtual LAN. You can create VLAN groups which include or exclude any of the ports so that groups, departments and companies can communicate with each other, or not. For example, two companies could share the same broadband feed, without having access to each other's networks. For more details of VLAN, see here. The 'Bandwidth Throttling' feature lets you set a maximum throughput for each of the Vigor's four Ethernet ports, which can prevent a particular user (or segment) from taking all of your bandwidth.
