Hi Friends,
I am having a sify broadband connection, and want to share it with 4 other computers...I have a switch and 2 dlink lan cards...and the other PC's have individual lan cards... now the problem with sify is that these people have the Login software recognize the PC (is it the particular lan card??), so initially the net was connected by the sify person to another PC...I took his lan card and connected to my PC with the sify broadband cable and configured the ips as given on that comp and my internet worked...I gave the gateway address same to other comps also and by creating the workgroup that this PC connects to the internet through another PC...I activated their net also...

The problem is that on my PC...all the sites open on my pc but on the other connected pc's only google and gmail opens up...the other sites never open..the sify person is also not able to guide us on whats going wrong...
Please help me guys....
 
The Sify People allow access to their internet gateways to only two MAC addresses per connection. So, what you can do is, if you have a router, map the PC mac address to which you have the connection to the router address, i.e configure the router such that it has the same IP address as the computer whose MAC address is registered with the Sify People.

After youve configured ur router such that it has the same IP address as ur primary computer, u can connect ur other PCs to the router and u r good to go.

Hope that helped :).
