I know this subject has been discussed a number of times, but either my
searching skills suck or what I am looking for hasn't been asked before. My
parents have the Arescom NetDSL800 with the MSN/Qwest DSL. This christmas I
bought them a Tivo and was looking to attach it to their home network. This
is great until I discovered that their DSL modem doesn't allow more than 1
computer to be attached at 1 time. Meaning, their DHCP pool has exactly the
range of 192.168.1.2/32. So, I am looking for the following solutions.
Short Term: A Utah county company that sells DSL filters so that their new
Tivo can communicate over the phone line.
Long Term: A new DSL modem that will allow for more computers, or any
alternate solution with the same result.
I imagine that any number of members here have a handful of DSL filters
(including myself) that you could have.
I have the Qwest DSL modem that you mentioned. I do not use it for
routing though. I have a NetGear router attached to it that does all the
routing for all my many network devices. Works great.
Actually, I recently had to pull the router off and while it is off I have
put a plain switch in place of it. The Arescom modem is still handing out
plenty of IP's for all my devices. I have not changed the DHCP defaults.
Yours should be able to handle what you want.
