Sharing a USB broadband adapter
I have a desktop with XP SP2 and 2 laptops with VISTA. I have a Sprint USB broadband adapter and would like to share my internet connection over a home network. I cannot get it to work. When I connect my Linksys router to the desktop it disconnects the USB internet connection. Is this possible? -- rray ------------------------------------------------------------------------ rray's Profile: http://forums.techarena.in/members/rray.htm View this thread: http://forums.techarena.in/windows-v...rk/1069306.htm http://forums.techarena.in

If so, connect the Sprint to the router, then connect the router via a J45 cable to the PC....

Sharing a USB broadband adapter
Hi
If you want to use wire for both computers you do not need a Router. Connect the two computers with a crossover network cable and use Windows ICS. If we are talking second computer Wirelessly. Assuming that the Computer with the Sprint adapter has also a wire network card, and that the second computer has a Wireless Card. Connect the Router with a cable to the Internet host computer network card using a regular port on the Router (leave the WAN/Modem port open). Change the Router core IP to be on the subnet of Windows ICS (192.168.0.x) give the second computer a static IP of the same subnet (like 192.168.0.10) establish Configure the Wireless Router as explains here, http://www.ezlan.net/router_AP.html Establish Wireless connection between the two computers then switch On Windows ICS. Windows native Help has info about ICS if needed. Jack (MS, MVP-Networking) "rray" wrote in message ... I have a desktop with XP SP2 and 2 laptops with VISTA.
