One PC has internal dialup modem and wifi card. Laptop has wifi adapter. Also available is a Linksys WAG54GX2 wifi router. Pls provide step by step guide how to setup the laptop, pc & router so that laptop can share PC’s dialup connection. Both have WinXP SP2 OS. Thank you very much!!
In response to your answers…
1) I need the router because the distance between the two computers is too far for the wifi cards to work.
2) Speed is no problem. I have made it work in the past using peer to peer connection. Now I just need to extend the range by using the router.
Plzzzz Help!! ^_^
Specific questions:-
(1) should i use DHCP feature of router or should i use fixed IP for every PC?
(2) What about NAT settings in router?
(3) ICS setting in host PC should be for the external or internal network?
I have tried so many combinations but it does not seem to work, but have read in forums that theoretically, it can work. So, a more detailed step by step guide would be much appreciated.
Thanks
