router如果不进行桥接设置（bridge)，是要丢掉netbios包的，因为它是广播报文。但是不是所有的router都有桥接功能。这不属于router的基本功能范畴。good luck

Hi justgirl ,

Posts below have either this or that problem
or misleading.

Setup is very simple.
1. Make sure u enable Router's DHCP, this can be
   change back later if you don't like DUCP. But it is simple.
2. If you like static ip, you can set each machine
   as 192.186.x.x or 10..x.x.x not 172.18.x.x. 192
   or 10. are ip address which is not routable,which
   is used for private IPs.
3. If you don't have domain controler (assuming u
   don't setup a domain). Just put all machines in
   same workgroup, something like 'mygroup'.
   

That is.

If you want them all on internet, set the router
as Gateway. You need check the ip of the Gateway
which is router's ip, usually it is 192.168.x.x or
10.0.x.x. This typically is a class C IPs.

Good luck

Don

congirl,

Thanks for interesting info. This is what I know,

Class Bits      Address Range  Max Hosts
A     0xxxxxxx  1-126          16,777,214

B     10xxxxxx  128-191        65534

C     110xxxxx  192.-223       254

D     1110xxxx  224-239        ?

E     1111xxxx  240-254        ?

Non Routable IP for NAT (Network Address Translation)
NAT is used by most simple Router and most software
router like Sygate, Win98seWin2000

Class A 10. 0.  0.0 - 10. 255.255.255
Class B 172.16. 0.0 - 172. 31.255.255
Class C 192.168.0.0 - 192.168.255.255

Hub 不是2层设备， switch 才是，当然也有第三层交换机。
to DonCherry
你列出的是internet保留地址，即不用申请就可以使用的地址（公共网上绝对没有相同的地址）。在internet地址越发紧张的情况下，连许多internet 上大型的路由器都使用NAT。

congirl 老兄：
  请仔细看我写的东西，看明白了再说也不迟。
我说的switch 就是交换机，switch有工作在MAC层的和ip层的，即2层和3层。你说的hub严格来说只有信号的广播作用，是工作在物理连路层的设备。

justgirl;

I have a quick look of all the posts,
I think  Mr. Jim is the person you can obtain help from. Or if you have further questions about internetworking(routing/switching), you can send email to me, I think I can help with.

Just some clarification:

Router is the Lay 3 device, the principle thing need remember is:
1. Broadcast/Multicast can not go through Router if without further define;
2. You can enable Netbios over IP feature to get your something like "neighborhood" feature;
3. The router interfaces must use defferent IP subnets.
4. Hub is the Layer 1 device.
5. You can make console cable by yourself

Thanks go to Congirl and Da Xi Gua, for your warm help, but my progress is zero.
I use a USB modem, I did not find a diagram how to connect a usb hub to share one usb modem.

rj11 line-----usb modem-----usb hub----notebook1 usb port, or notebook2 usb port, PC1 usb port, PC2 usb port.

Is the installation flowchart correct?????????

Pls advice.

R11 telephone line ---> USB Modem ---> Notebook USB port, the internet connection works OK,
