I am running a small home wireless network with 3 client computers and a
router which is connected to a cable modem--a classic home wireless network
setup. I would like to share a modem on one the client computers (i.e.
establish a ICS) without turning the client computer into a host and losing
the ip connection to the router which is acting as the DHCP server. Does
anyone know how to do this?

Thanks...Peter
 
The closest thing I know of is an SMC router that has a built in serial port
for use with a dial up modem. The Cable modem is connected on an ethernet
port, and the router uses the dialup as backup. Sorry.
 
Hello,

Let me see if i got this right... you want to keep your cable modem
connection and set up a new dial up connection shared in one of the
computers ? If you don't want to set it up in the dhcp server set it up in
one of the others :) You can share the dial up connection and set it up in a
way that when no connection is avaiable the computers dial it. I really
don't see what's the problem...

The best way it's to connect
