I have a wireless gateway with 4 ethernet ports and 1 WAN
port (this is for cable/dsl/eth) - i am trying to set up
ICS.
All the computers can see each other and are sharing
files etc - when the computer with a dial-up modem
connects to the internet the other computers can't access
the internet/
any hints?
Since you're using ICS with a dial-up connection, bypass the wireless
router's routing capability and use it as just a wireless access
point. Here's how to do it. Check the router's documentation for
help with steps 2-4:
1. Connect the ICS host computer's Ethernet adapter to one of the
router's wired LAN ports, not to its WAN (Internet) port.
2. Access the router's built-in web server, which is usually at an
address like
http://192.168.1.1
3. Disable the router's built-in DHCP server.
4. Change the router's LAN IP address to 192.168.0.254 to be
compatible with Internet Connection Sharing.
5. Enable Internet Connection Sharing on the host computer's dial-up
Internet connection. If it asks which connection to use for the home
network, tell it to use the one that connects to the router's LAN
port.
