| 160398 | 2003-07-16 15:51:00 | I purchased the Belkin wireless gateway router,which comes with 3 ports and a wireless lan port), hoping to setup a wireless connection for my laptop (wireless connection) and my desktop (cable connection) to share my Jetstream Internet connection. I am using Windows ME and can share files between the desktop and laptop thru "My Network Place" when they are connected to the Belkin gateway router. Problems arise when I try to connect to the Internet. It seems the Belkin gateway router (only compatible with PPPoE not PPPoA) seems to have problem in detecting the Dynalink modem/router. Anyone knows how to setup this network so I can share my internet connection for my 2 PCs (note I must use "infrastructure mode" not ad-hoc mode for the wireless connection because I want to add my ipaq in this network later)? | pat2pat (4246) | ||

| 160401 | 2003-07-17 07:00:00 | Connect one of the LAN ports on the Belkin to the Dynalink (i.e. DON'T try to connect the WAN port of the Belkin anywhere). (You may need a crossover cable if the ports aren't autoswitching or have a crossover switch). Also switch off any of the Belkins router functions (DHCP, NAT etc). That way, you use the Belkin as a switch + AP. | wuppo (41) | ||
