How many users can connect to an eircom netopia wireless modem? I have one laptop connected and want another to connect too but although I'm connected to the modem at 56mbps I cant get an internet connection.

2 wireless enabled PCs can definately connect to your modem...upto as many hosts as your IP range will aloow can connect. I presume you are using the 192.168.0.x, so in theory 254 computers can connect and get an IP via DHCP or static.

Even though the 2nd computer is getting connected, check that the SSID, WEP (if any), channel number are configured correctly as per the modem and 1st PC.
