Hi all,
My Belkin wireless router died on Monday leaving the missus no net access for her laptop....the earache im getting is unreal.
Anyhow, i dont have the £40 to buy a new router til payday so i pulled the old crossover cable out and tried to setup ICS using my machine as the gateway.
I connected my cable modem via usb (i only have 1 ethernet port) and ran the crossover to the missus laptop, set the IP of my ethernet port to 192.168.0.1. subnet to the norm, the gateway to 192.168.0.1 and also the default DNS to 192.168.0.1
I set the wife's laptop IP to 192.168.0.5 and the default gateway to 192.168.0.1, i also ran the small network connection wizard....nothing is working as it should be!
In Network Connection on the wife's laptop, it is showing the shared connection as connected but it wont ping or connect to the net, however when the wifes laptop sees this and my ethernet port is enabled it stops my modem from working!!!
I've had it working a few months ago but when i got the router i set it all up wireless and now i cant remember how to use my machine as a gateway.
Can anyone shed any light on the matter?
Cheers
