446691	2006-04-16 05:39:00	Hi Guys at F1 I am running Xp Pro, We are Running a Home Networks, My Wife is running XpHome on a seperate Computer as a Client, All is working Well we share Files and each of us can change each others Files, no Problems. She has a Dialup Modam, I have Broadband, I want her to use my Broadband through our Network Cable conection. My Modem is not a Router. But we are plugged into a 10 plug Cable router, It has been running well for the past 12 months I have run the Internet shareing Wizard on my Computer and have made a Netsetup disk to run on hers. Thats all now Done, "But" I cannot connect to the Internet via broadband on her Computer, Yet the Icon in the Toolbar By the Clock says we are connected. I have 2 Icons, One called "Local Area Connection" that is our usual one running the Home Networks. she now has another Called "D-Link Dial-up ppp Connection" also on the Desktop she has a Icon called "DSL302G Admin (ETH)" When I run Internet Explorer on her Computer It will not Connect to Broadband, I Have tried Adding a new connection in the Tools, Options,Connections of IE, also setting up a new connection as well. If I double Click the DSL302g icon on the Desktop it loads up IE But shows "1.100" in the Adress bar, I type in a Web site But it does not Connect. I have some thing wrong here has any one Got a Idea what the problem is. Cheers and Thanks, Ockerr	Ockerr (1960)

Put it on use the following ip address, in my network places under the wife's LAN icon / properties / TCP/IP. And type in the ip for the gateway here. So it'll point to yours. (your IP address). For the modem. Dont know about the BB side of it, as I dont have broadband myself.	Speedy Gonzales (78)

Enter the details for that computer's IP address (whatever it is currently) and make the Default Gateway the same as the setting on your own computer, which will be the address for the router (I think - if that doesn't work try the address for the modem and if that doesn't work put in your computer's IP address) . Make sure you put in the Preferred and Alternate DNS Server addresses . This is how my own machines are set up but my modem is a router so I am not 100% sure it will work with your hardware . Someone else will correct if I am wrong . Or it just won't work . :p Let us know how you get on .	FoxyMX (5)

There is very few Details on the subject of ICS That actually are step by step Instructions, I have looked at Dozens of pages of infomation, But they all hold very little info, The writers seem to think its 5 clicks and away we go.

446695	2006-04-17 04:18:00	Yes, ICS is a bit of a pain. I wasn't sure whether you were actually using ICS but now that is clear the best advice may be to use a proxy program. The one most recommended here is AnalogX from http://www.analogx.com/ The forum has a Networking FAQ (www.pressf1.co.nz) that may be of some help. It also has links to other useful sites.	FoxyMX (5)
446696	2006-04-17 05:56:00	i had the same problem, (amongst others, partly related to needing to reinstall windows and wireless issues) just delete the old dialup connection. remove AND uninstal the modem (if possible). tell your router to either assign the correct ip addresses, or tell everything to go automatic personally, i find nothing wrong with automation, it works and removes the human error of not knowing that you really dont know what you're doing lol :badpc:	motorbyclist (188)
