Cool, one more question, will I need to disconnect from telkom when I use afrihost? Or can i leave it on.
You will have no option but to disconnect, it will not allow more than one connection unless your router is in bridge mode. To keep it simple, yep.
It only has the option to disable though, is that the same thing?
I promise this is the very last question lol
Oh no-no just connect to the Afrihost account and disconnect from the Afrihost account when you want to use Telkom. If you connect to Afrihost it should not give you any errors.
You have the same setup as what I do. The thing you want to disable is your LAN connection do not disable it. Just connect your Afrihost account when you want to use it and when you disconnect it you will be using your Telkom account.
Ok thanks, for now that's all
It does it automaticallyOriginally Posted by Achtung!Baby
When you dialup through Afrihost the other connection gets disconnected on your pc. Until you disconnect your Afrihost account the other account can't be used on that PC.
Thats how the PPPOE connection in Windows works. Everyone else who connects to the modem/router will only be able to use the account in the router/modem so thats why there is an option to share the connection.

So if I connect wirelessly with my ps3, and I'm connected to Afrihost on my pc, will I be using them or telkom?
I assume you will be using Afrihost but I am not sure for I do not own a PS3.
You should let your router connect to the internet and use it as a gateway instead of directly connecting from your PC. You can share the connection with your PC and PS3 then. Your PC will also be "hidden" behind the router and not directly exposed to the internet and incoming connections, making it more secure.
