Dial-up ICS w/ Netgear Wireless Router.

D

Dr. Shabazz

Hi,

I just recently moved and no longer have a broadband internet
connection. I'm back to using dial-up and I cannot get ICS to properly
share the dial-up networking connection. I'm set up everything
manually and tried the wizard, but the client computer will not
connect at all. I changed the router's IP address to 192.168.0.5 so it
won't conflict with the host machine's required 192.168.0.1 address
for ICS to work. The wizard runs smoothly, with the host machine
receiving the static IP address of 192.168.0.1. The client is
configured properly as well running through the wizard. Is there a
problem when using the netgear wireless router to do this? It always
functioned fine as a broadband router but i've never tried to use it
like this until now. please offer some help, and maybe tell me what i
need to look for manually on the client computer to make sure it has
received the proper configurations. oh both machines are XP sp1.

I think that you're almost there, Dr. All that should be needed is:

1. Connect both computers to the router's LAN ports, and don't connect
anything to its WAN port.

2. Access the router's web server at http://192.168.0.5 and disable
the router's built-in DHCP server.

Then, check the client machine's TCP/IP configuration. It should
show:

IP Address: 192.168.0.x (1<x<255)
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
Gateway: 192.168.0.1
DNS Server = 192.168.0.1 or your ISP's DNS server
