Hi out there. I wonder if anyone knows if it is possible to internet
connection share a USB broadband modem on a network. This modem is gets a
wireless signal from the provider. (For Australian readers, I'm on Telstra's
Next G wireless broadband with a USB desktop modem) I am using a D-Link
802.11g router, connected to the host pc via ethernet. The idea is to connect
to the home wireless network with a laptop to use the internet connection.
When I connect the router (model DI-524) It sets up an Internet Gateway and
forces IE to use it. Of course as there's no modem attached to the WAN port
this gateway is defunct. I am not sure how to direct the browser back to the
USB modem and get ICS to work. Hope I'm making sense.
Thanks for your help!!
The key to doing what you want is to use the DI-524 as a wireless
access point only, bypassing its routing capability:
1. If you've enabled Internet Connection Sharing on the host computer,
temporarily disable ICS.
2. Temporarily disable the host computer's USB modem network
connection.
3. Connect the host computer's Ethernet network adapter to a LAN port
on the DI-524. Don't connect anything to the DI-524's WAN port.
4. If the DI-524 has a "use as access point only" configuration
option, select that. If it doesn't have that option, disable the
DI-524's built-in DHCP server.
5. Set the DI-524's LAN IP address to 192.168.0.254 to be compatible
with ICS.
6 Enable the host computer's USB modem network connection.
7. Enable Internet Connection Sharing on the host computer's USB modem
network connection.
