Router doesn't allow simultaneous connections

[The Undertaker]

Dear All,
I am using a router to split my ADSL connection since we have three PCs at
the office. But it just doesn't work, only one computer can work at a time.
Who can help me solve this problem?

Maybe someone could help if you said what brand of router.
What steps have you taken?
Have you set the router up as a DHCP server
and each computer to use an automatically assigned ip?

The modem I am using is US robotics routermodel 8000-02 MAC address
00C049A807B8
Basically what I do is when I connect the two PCS to the relevant router
ports, I configure the LAN TCP/IP properties accordingly: defaut gateway
set to the router internal addresss 192.168.123.254, and IP addresses set to
192.123.254.1 for the first computer and 192.123.254.2 for the second. Then
I fill the China Telecom DNS server addresses 202.96.209.6 and
202.96.209.133. What else need to be done?
As you said I am thinking maybe it is the router that is not configured
properly, but there is no software with it on either PCs? So I don't know
how to set up the router as DHCP server as you suggested...
Thanks.

I'm sure all the world's hackers are happy to have all those
numbers.

ASounds liek its misconfigured. You need only ONE subnet connected to
the ADSL and the ADSL connected to the ISP to route info from the
local network to the ISP.
If you split it, then you get THREE subnets and only one of them will
be able to connect to the ADSL until you start creating routing tables
to allow PCs from other subnets connect to the network where your ADSL
modem is.


You need a network as follows, for example:

10.0.0.5 10.0.0.6 10.0.0.7
PC PC PC
| | | (Router)
----------------------[ADSL]---{ISP}
10.0.0.x n/w 10.0.0.2 Public n/w
