Tjis is how I use dial up internet service over my Netgear wired and wireless lan.
I have netzero installed on my XP Pro machine that I use as a file server. I use
dhcp and I change the router ti begin with a different IP other than the Internet
IP address
On the router: Sample information only,
Router ip: 192.168.1.5
Server ip: 192.168.1.6
Subnet Mask 255.255.255.0
I have each one to reconize the mac address and then assign the IP to the PC with
the Mac address when connected.
I then set the router to be the DHCP server and set the IP for only 5 Machines to
assign IP addresses to. 192.168.1.6 through 192.196.1.11
all with the same subnet mask.
Since the router is set to assign the IP address to only 5 machines, only five the
5 PC with thoe MACs will connect with the server and get the IP's.
I then Set up ICS to use the server as the host machine and each one PC as the client
and use the host as having the internet and the client as using the internet from
the host. and then the ICS wizard does the rest. I save the configuration on a disk
from the setup wizard and run the disk on each client machine on the network.
Now I can share the internet on each machine as long as the internet is on from the
host machine, which is my XP file server as well. Nice set up huh?
I also get to use My Pocket PC 2002 iPAQ and see all the PC's as well as the server
wirelessly and share files between them too.
Home Network consist of:
Netgear MR814 802.11b Router 11Mbps with Wifi and 4 ethernet ports
Netgear USB 802.11b 11Mbps Wif adapter (2)
Netgear MA 701 CF 802.11b 11Mbps Wifi card (Pocket PC use)
Netgear WG511 PCMCIA 802.11b 54Mbps Wifi card for laptop use.
Peace,
