Re: HELP! Sharing internet
said by jerm24x1  : As an aside, when I try to connect MSN from the laptop, it gives an error- the 'repair' tool still shows an error with the "DNS server" and the "key ports". Does this provide a clue? Are there any tools out there to confirm settings and make suggestions on what to repair??? No tools that I can think of for this situation. You are a bit ahead of the complexity of most of the market.
With the laptop connected (as best as you can), can you attach an IPCONFIG /ALL for the .2.22 and the .2.30 systems?
The "key ports" error might have been explained by UPnP ... but I'm not certain. Did you reboot your systems after making that change?

This configuration works when I plug in via Cat 5 but when I try the wireless it craps out (also on the MSN troubleshooter check it craps out on "deafult gateway" and goes no further on the list.
I have also tried:
IP address: 192.168.2.22
Subnet: 255.255.255.0
Gateway: 192.168.2.75 (access point)
DNS: 192.168.2.1 (far router)
DNS: 192.168.2.15 (close router)
This second configuration gets me a little further down the 'MSN troubleshoting' list.... it only shows a warning for "DNS" and "key ports", but OK's default gateway....
Thanks. |

| The default gateway should definitely be 2.1, the IP address of the far router (the one right after the broadband modem).
To keep your routing tables from getting screwed up, please do not enable more than one network card at a time.
Also make sure that the wireless card on that computer has a different IP address than the wired card. This is because a switch learns which IP address goes to which port ... so it might misroute the traffic if you use the same IP address on both.
