Re: peer to peer network with internet

If the Speedtouch provides DHCP and you are going to use the Belkin router,
do not plug anything into its WAN/Internet port. Everything should be
connected to uplink or regular LAN ports and DHCP sould be disabled on the
Belkin router.

If the Speedtouch does not provide DHCP, then you can enable DHCP on the
router, but the scope must be 10.0.0.0/255.255.255.0.

You could connect the modem to the WAN/Internet port on the router, but this
unnecessarily introduces a double NAT situation into your network which may
not work well or at all. There is no conceivable use for ICS in this
scenario.
