Re: HELP! Sharing internet
WORKING DESKTOP
IP address: 192.168.2.30
Subnet: 255.255.255.0
Gateway: 192.168.2.1

IP address: 192.168.2.22
Subnet: 255.255.255.0
Gateway: 192.168.2.1
DNS: 192.168.2.1
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.
