With the development of China's routing industry, it has also promoted the wide application of broadband routers. Here we mainly introduce the important role of building a Broadband Router in the LAN, open the TCP/IP attribute of the NIC, set the NIC in each computer to "automatically obtain IP addresses", and do not set DNS and gateway. In short, everything is the original default on the computer.
In Windows 98/Me, click Start> Run, enter winipcfg, and press enter, and then select update to obtain a new IP address for the local Nic, and keep it in the same network segment as the Broadband Router. In Windwos2000/XP, open the "command prompt" in "Start → attachment" and enter the "ipconfig/renew" command in the command prompt, you can also get a new IP address after you press Enter.
Update to ensure that the nic and vro are in the same CIDR Block
Of course, you can manually change the IP address of the computer's network adapter to the network segment of the Gateway (Broadband Router), and set the subnet mask (generally 255.255.255.0) and gateway. In addition, to facilitate future Internet operations, you can set the DNS server of your computer as the value provided by the local ISP, and then save the settings.
Configure a Broadband Router
In the IE Address Bar, enter the WEB configuration IP address of the Broadband Router (in the instruction manual, that is, the gateway address in winipcfg), and then enter the user name and password (generally ADMIN) to enter the Broadband Router configuration interface, on the vro settings page, select "PPPoE" in the "Basic Setup" and enter the "User Name" for your ADSL dial-up Internet access) "and" Password ", after" Next ", you can connect to the Internet through a multi-host shared Broadband Router. You no longer need a computer as a host and cannot shut down.
MAC address clone
ISP (broadband service provider) is bound to the MAC address of the NIC of the computer connected to the LAN. The LAN computer cannot share the internet. You can use the MAC address clone function of the Broadband Router to achieve multi-host sharing. When setting, you can go to the "Basic settings" interface on the WEB Management page and select the Clone MAC (MAC address Clone) button to Clone the MAC address of the NIC of the current machine to the WAN port of the multi-functional Broadband Router, to achieve multi-host internet sharing.
