| 199306 | 2003-12-10 23:53:00 | I'm tryinf to help someone out who has two PCs networked and a jetstream connection. Yesterday all the IP setup was fried but I have them seeing eachother now. Telecom says it's fine from their end untill it gets to the PCs and the "person" on the other end of the phone gave the DNS settings only. Does anyone have the gateway address for jetstream? |

| 199307 | 2003-12-11 00:30:00 | if you have two puters and one is a 'client' of the other.......(sharing the internet connection) then the gateway on the client puter will be the 'assigned' ip addy of the other 'main' one......... | drcspy (146) | ||

| 199309 | 2003-12-11 01:09:00 | The ISP is Xtra and the plonk answering the phone is reading from a cheat-sheet. Neither of the two machines is a client to the other. They are peers. A few months ago I set up 3 machines on clears version and it took five minutes to get the gateway address. As long as both machines are peers and use the same gateway then you don't need internet connection sharing. |

| 199310 | 2003-12-11 01:21:00 | Its usually best for your own sanity if you set one up as a "host" and have that assigned a static IP address (This will vary depending on what your router's IP is if you have a router). Set it up with a static IP, and have the other PC using DHCP or (my preference) give it its own static IP address and use the Host PC as the Gateway. |

| 199311 | 2003-12-11 01:43:00 | When I got to the machines they were both set completely dynamically and that's hot they were fried with nonsesical settings. I set them to 192.168.x.x etc and now I just need a jetstream GW address. |

| 199312 | 2003-12-11 02:09:00 | The Gateway will be the address of the PC with the DSL Modem, or the IP of the Router... ? The IP's go up the creek when both go looking for a DHCP host and neither will give the other an address.. THEN things get nasty :D |

Not if you have a router as a ADSL modem. Then the router becomes the link. My setup is that I have my router set as 192.168.0.254 My pc's are set up to use 192.168.0.1 - > and each pc has their default gateway set to 192.168.0.254 which is the router. The address of the DNS is set on each machine but has no real need for my router as it can handle it itself by setting them in the router. All I need to leave turned on is the router and then any pc can connect as and when required without the need of any other pc. |

| 199314 | 2003-12-11 02:43:00 | I'm a step closer. The person I'm helping has remembered "some number" she was told to write down and never lose so hopefull she can find them. This kind of thing is not easy to do verbally with someone. |

| 199315 | 2003-12-11 06:22:00 | Hmm.... Im still with Big John on the matter. As far as Im concerned, his advice should be spot on the mark! :-) |
