Wireless ICS with XP-Home / DIAL UP

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windows.networking.wireless (More info?)

Hi

May be you should explain better the way every thing is connected. If you
have a Wireless Router (working as a Router) then you do not need ICS.

On the other hand it is a DialUP (internal modem???).

So how the Router is connected (WAN Port? Regular port? what IP? DHCP is On
or Off? Etc.)

Hi

ICS can not work with such setting.

You should connect the Wireless Cable/DSL Router as an Access Point.

I.E. connect it to the host desktop via a regular port and switch off the
DHCP.

Let me do a quick reset here-----
Use a DIAL IP HOST Desktop OS W2W
Use a Linksys ROUTER to set Network betwwen Desktop and LAPTOP Win XP
home( wireless network)
Share INTERNET via ICS with the HOST !!

I have looked at the links suggested
QUESTION - Would it not be easier just to replace the ROUTER with an A/P (
if this would get the two PC's to share the dial-up connection and stay
networked )

It's easier for me fly a BOEING that get this working !!!

Thanks in advance
Rodney
