Dear All,
I have a machine upstairs right next to my laptop that is wirelessly
connected to my router, I've tried to use a cross over cable between the two
machines, but everytime I 'Enable' the LAN (even when the wireless has the
correct IP and is enabled) I can't access the internet on my laptop. Disable
the LAN and the internet comes back....
I must be doing something wrong...
my Ip Range is 192.168.1.x, Default Gateway being 192.168.1.2.
I've read various posts, some mentioning using 10.0.0.1 etc, but I was
confused, as I have never had to use this before, as far as I was aware any
device on the network has to be within the same ip ranges, I'm sure I've
read somewhere that the subnet can make alterations to the numbers you can
go up to, but as I've never needed more that 255 machines, I've always
stayed with 255.255.255.0 (clasping at straws there)
Is there anyway I can set up the laptop, so the wireless on the laptop still
calls my router for internet, but shares the connection it receives over the
lan port (cross over cable) and the 'other machine' can access the internet?
There is 'NO' option what so ever for the 'other' machine to have a wireless
nic put into it, or a usb version,etc it only has a lan port.
Hope someone can help me with this predicament...
Regards
Paul.
