I have a wireless network card that collects an IP address from my ISP via a wireless access point connected to a cable modem. I have a laptop with a wireless card too. I want to use Internet Connection Sharing on the desktop PC so that the laptop can access the Internet by sending packets to the desktop PC, having them NAT'd there and then routed via my ISP. In order to accomplish this I need to give the PC's wireless connection two IP addresses, one public (from the ISP) and one local/private.
This is all easy to achieve if the wireless card has two statically assigned addresses. Unfortunately, when configured to use DHCP the option to enter a second address for the connection is removed.
I have seen and tried - unsuccessfully - a nasty registry hack to do this, but it doesn't have any effect on my PC. Has anyone actually achieved this? |
what language are we speaking here, i no comprende anything. It all sounds so complicated, hope you get it sorted.
i've got one for you guys, how can i set up my computer so i get me emails via outlook instead of the server. I've tried to follow their instructions but i'm obviously doing something wrong (i am a girlie after all). I have tiscali broadband. Oh, & in baby english please coz i don't understand IT language.
I have heard that routers aren't always that easy to set up either. May need your help on that one too, but not just yet. As long as the internet is on my computer & not little 'uns i can control the length of time he spends playing runescape, so may not connect his computer.
