I have 2 PC's, both connected to a router that's connected to one NTL modem. Basically i want to connect to the other modem with one of my PC's by wireless.

PC 1 --> router 1 (cabled) --> NTL 1
PC2 --> router 1 (wireless) --> NTL 2

Possible?
 
I tried following what you said, but i got completely lost. I don't know what DHCP has to do with it and i don't have a laptop either.

The router i'm using is wireless, but it's already being used by one of my PC's. I want to use that router to also connect to another modem via wireless connectivity.

im sure u need two different routers. although im no expert. as surely only one router can handle the one ip address that the ntl line issues? Thus needed 2?

Interesting this one?

Yeah, i'm starting to believe this. :p
 
Great, where would i got to manually set my net configuration however? PC1 connects to PC2 via VNC. :)

I know it's Network Connections > LAN > Internet Protocol > Properties, but that is shadowed out?

Haha, no wait, a reboot and a few service changes and i'm good.

Trying it now.

Everytime i disable DHCP, it reverts back to being enabled. I'll have a play around.

Would i need to restart the router or perhaps release DHCP?

It's the router interface, i switch DHCP sever to disable and apply, but when i refresh the page it goes back to enabled. PC2 is being controlled via VNC (through the net). Maybe you simply can't disable it.

Already tried a restart, as well as a reboot.

Router Model: KCorp KLG-575 GOLD.

Ok, it was Firefox. IE worked fine, pfft.

Ok, so manually configuring PC1 without DHCP works fine using the net. PC2 is still using that connection though. Any way of manually telling it to search for a wireless connection?
 
That's the problem though, the other modem is downstairs, as to why i want to connect PC2 via wireless. :(

PC2 now can't connect via the current net connection, so it's simply a case of getting it connected to the modem downstairs.
 
Ah, so once i get the modem downstairs connected to the router upstairs, then release and renew the IP, it should then pick up the WIRELESS connection of the modem? I can then put the modem back downstairs?
 
Ah, sorry i didn't explain myself more thoroughly. None the less it has been an interesting and informative experience. Really do appreciate all the support, it's most appreciated.

I think i'll just get myself a huge cable instead.
