modem sharing

[Peter Welk]

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
