It's not really worth it but...

First you need to disable the function of the router to handle DHCP
Second you need to set your own LAN IP address as 192.168.0.1
Then you reboot and make sure you have that IP address
Then you right click on your dialup connection, last tab, and enable sharing

Luke,

An ad-hoc WiFi LAN should be vaguely similar to a LAN based on a cross-over
cable. If you've gotten connectivity working in ad-hoc mode, ICS MIGHT work,
depending upon the WiFi hardware.

Ideally though, a dialup compatible WiFi router would be a good idea.

How do I do this in Vista? The Sharing tab doesn't show up for my dialup
connetion. (Using Cingular 8525 as a USB modem over HSPDA/UMTS.)
