Re: dial-up wireless?

Great! Glad you got there.

Make sure you have enabled sharing on those computers and actually shared files, and in a peer network each machine should have a user with the same password as you will logon to the other machines with to access it. If you're still having trouble, please start a new thread with that as the topic.

ok. i've got all that done. but i still am having trouble connecting through the internet using the internet gateway connection on the client computer. It (the internet gateway) will send bytes no problem. however it will not recieve them . i'm probably missing a step that i probably have to do i just don't know what it is...

Thanks again

Make sure the MAC adress filtering is disabled on the router (meaning Media Access Control) If this function is enabled it will prevent access to the internet. That's what it's there for. When a network system has many clients (computers) connected you can control who is allowed internet use and who is not.

Re: dial-up wireless?

Guys

I have found that setting the ip address of the computer with the dial up to the same IP as the Wireless Router solves the problem of the other computers in the wireless network not being able to connect to the internet.

Re: dial-up wireless?

For this to be true, you have something else misconfigured. In this type of setup, the router is not routing it's acting only as a wireless bridge so it's IP address is meaningless. The only necessity is that it's IP address not conflict with any PC's addresses on the network.

It can depend, though. This may be the case if you did not disable the DHCP server on the router. The router would still be giving out the Gateway address as being 192.168.0.1, which is now the host computer doing the connection sharing. It's almost as if you were running a network with a DHCP server that ran distinct from the router. The DHCP server is giving the clients the IP, gateway, and DNS information, which by coincidence is the correct information.

Re: dial-up wireless?

Hehehe, Hi Alc. That's kind of what I meant by misconfigured. Since the setup used ICS, ICS needs to be the only dhcp server on the block. The router should be acting only as a switch/bridge. Sometimes I don't get into all the little details because frankly I just hate typing.

But I didn't want to let what was said go because some people take everything written as fact.

That's exactly whats happening it seems like. The host computer is connected to the router via lan and uses dial up to connect. I have tried every configuration (with the exception of disabling dhcp on the router) and this is the only one that seems to work.

Re: dial-up wireless?

Check out wiflyer.com, I used it as a wirless dial-up. This little device is very portable and is designed for the traveler. I use it with my PocketPC via wirless. It is easy to use and set up.
