| 346170 | 2005-04-18 04:01:00 | Hi Jason I just wrote heaps of stuff, but then deleted it cos I realised your router is external with a 4 port switch. So why not just connect both PC's to that, turn on DHCP and then they will both see each other? Even set the workgroup to the same on each PC? Else try this: Just wondering. PC is 192.168.0.1, subnet mask 255.255.255.0 PC is 192.168.0.2, same subnet mask, and default gateway is PC1(192.168.0.1). For the modem, as speedy said, is it on the same ip range and subnet mask. IS it offering DHCP as well? What's the default gateway set up as for PC1? Is the default gateway the IP address of the modem? You would be better to name your modem 192.168.0.1 subnet mask 255.255.255.0 and turn off DHCP. Then PC1 192.168.0.10 - default gateway 192.168.0.1 PC2 192.168.0.11 - default gateway 192.168.0.10 On PC1 setup internet sharing so that it goes through the router's ip address. You will also probably have to set up the DNS manually for PC1 to point to bliinks dns servers. Sorry if this information is completely wrong, but that's what I would do if I was setting up internet sharing. You might also want to point IE/netscape or Firefox on PC2 to us proxy on port 80 to PC1 (192.168.0.10). But yeah I would just use the DHCP on the router for both pc's to have internet access. smokenz |

| 346171 | 2005-04-18 04:08:00 | The DNS should be the DNS the ISP has given you. Xtra: 202 . 27 . 184 . 3 202 . 27 . 184 . 5 Gateway should be the device that connects to the internet, eg the router/modem. |

| 346172 | 2005-04-18 05:03:00 | Why would you want ICS? Especially if you have both PC's plugged into the DSL-504G's switch. All you have to do is change your DSL-504G to IP 192.168.0.20 , same subnet mask as the other computers. Change the Gateway on both PC's to 192.168.0.20 and DNS as per post above. Both computers should be then able to access the net , even if the other computer is off. Also, you will be able to transfer files between PC's as per a normal network. For testing purposes, start XP's firewall, and stop Zonealarm from starting up. After all is working to your satisfaction, then do each ZoneAlarm firewall individually. This is because on the free ZoneAlarm, you have to manually put in the IP's or IP range. I have the same setup with 3 computers using an Asus modem, and previously a DSE ethernet modem. |

| 346173 | 2005-04-18 22:03:00 | You shouldn't even need to do it manually. The router will offer DHCP, so setting the network card properties to obtain automatically will be the easiest option. PC's will see each other as they will be all same ip string, subnet and gateway. The only reason I see to having one PC share the internet to everyone else is to set up something like WIN Gate proxy to log traffic and maybe traffic shape or something?? smokenz |
