Internet sharing through wireless router.

I am currently trying to get internet sharing work via my wireless router. I bought this wireless router from Tigerdirect. I have attached my cell phone to my laptop, but to do this, I have to use Windows XP Mode. The reason why I use Window XP Mode is that the mobile phone software does not support Windows 7. I can attach my cell phone and use the internet in XP Mode window without any problem.

But now, I would like to share the internet through the wireless router. So that all the other laptops can connect to the router and use my cell internet phones.

Any ideas? Thank you.

Make sure that you connected the computer to the WAN port (Internet) on the router, not to one of the router's LAN ports.

To check that ICS is installed on the first laptop:

  1. Press the Windows key + R , type ncpa.cpl in the box and press enter .
  2. Right click on the connection to the local network.
  3. Click status > Details .
  4. It should show these values: 192.168.137.1 = IPv4 address, IPv4 mask = 255.255.255.0 subnet.

Test Internet access on the second laptop:

  1. Click Start > all programs > Accessories > guest
  2. Type these commands.  Each of them should get four answers:

ping 192.168.137.1
Ping 8.8.8.8
ping google.com

Please report anything that does not work as I have indicated.

    Your router provides firewall protection, so the need is not the same
    as if you had no a router. There are some who say you need to no.
    all firewall software.

    But my opinion is that you would be a lot safer if you have run a
    router software, and since there is little reason not to, I
    recommend that you do.

    Ken Blake, Microsoft MVP

    I agree.

    @OP Windows XP (SP2 and above), Vista, 7 and 8 all have active firewall software by default.

    There is no need of any 3rd party firewall.

    Some users like running programs such as ZoneAlarm because it warns him from the processes that use the network, and then there is the possibility to deny/allow it on the spot, or deny/allow forever. There may be slight discomfort in the installation, but once it's for all your programs, and then it really can work in silent mode.

    Microsoft Firewall simply leave everything default, but they can be configured manually to block anything outgoing or incoming.

  • Problems connecting to the internet with my wireless router

    I have a WRT54GS v7 wireless router that I use with a modem ADSL ZyXEL P-660R-D1. during installation, I was unable to establish a connection to the internet, once my router is properly connected to my desktop computer and my modem. All the correct lights on my modem and router are turned on. Please help, I tried to turn off the two as instructed by the installation wizard, but who failed to make the internet connection works and I continued the installation process after many attempts. At the end of the installation, he said that my router has been set up, but I don't have an internet connection. What should I do to fix this?

    The problem you are experiencing is caused by the fact that you Zyxel and your WRT54GS both try to use the same 192.168.1.x subnet.   Your WRT54GS will not work properly if you try to put the same subnet on the LAN ports and the port Internet (WAN).  Also to note that the installation wizard will not work in your situation, then stop using it.  You will need to manually configure your router.

    There are two ways to solve the problem:

    Option 1) Change the subnet in the WRT54GS.    To do this, follow these steps:

    (a) turn off your network

    (b) disconnect the WRT54GS of other devices.

    (c) connect a single computer via ethernet cable, a LAN on the WRT54GS port

    (d) turn on your computer and the WRT54GS

    (e) point your browser to 192.168.1.1 and connect to your WRT54GS

    (f) change "local IP address" 192.168.2.1, then click the 'Save Settings' button and wait (3 to 60 seconds) of the screen refresh.  You will be probably disconnected from the WRT54GS.  Don't worry about this.

    (g) take out your browser and turn off the WRT54GS and your computer.

    (h) then, using an ethernet cable, connect the Zyxel ethernet port to port Internet (WAN) of the WRT54GS.

    (i) power of your network.  It should work.

    You will now access your pages of configuration WRT54GS to 192.168.2.1

    Option 2) the other way to solve your problem is to change your Zyxel to 'bridge' mode  (You will need to consult your Xyxel user guide, or your ISP website, to find out how to do this).  This will convert the Zyxel a real modem, and then he won't get an IP address.  After that, you need to configure your WRT54GS to your PPPoE connection for you.

    I guess that your Zyxel is a PPPoE connection.  If we perform a PPPoA connection, then does not allow Option 2 because your WRT54GS is unable to make a PPPoA connection.

    Additional notes:

    You don't need to do both options.  Choose one or the other.

    For a more normal web use including browsing, email, downloads, etc., or another option should work fine.  If you are an online gamer, you will probably prefer option 2, because this will make it easier to set up many online games.

  • Cannot get internet connection through wireless network

    I have a Sony VAIO laptop that came with Vista 32 bit and went from 7 Home Premium 32 bit.  I connect to the internet via my Ethernet via a DSL modem with no problems.  When I try to use the edge Intel 4965AGN wireless to connect to my DLink 655 Wireless N Gigabit router, it appears that it connects to the network, but there is no internet connection.  Both the router and the edge Intel have the latest drivers and the encryption is set on AES, WPA2-Personal.  Some additional information:

    I constantly get the message from Windows saying: Windows has detected an IP address conflict with another computer on the network.  I restarted the router several times to no effect.

    Based on the subset of configuration, it looks correct, you should be able to browse the Internet with the NAT configuration.

  • WRT54G - cannot connect computer wired to the internet through a router

    I have the WRT54G and unable to connect to the internet when you are going through the router.  I feel that I've checked everywhere can, but still does not work.  I connected the way the instructions, the lights are on the case and all that.  I have cable internet and when I plug directly, there is no problem.  When I try to 'ping' to check the connection between my computer and the router, I get "Request Timed Out".  I tried to reset the router and goes in this direction, but I can't go beyond checking the internet connection through the router.  Any ideas what I'm missing?

  • Signature problems, the wireless router.

    I have a problem of signing on the internet through a Linksys WRT54G2V1 wireless router model. I use Windows Vista Service Pack 2.

  • get internet connection through another computer...

    Hello

    I would go straight to the point :)

    I have a desktop running windows vista. I have a normal internet connection through a router that connects to the internet on this desktop computer.

    now, I also have a laptop with windows xp and here is what I do. my laptop's wireless was always bothers me, sometimes it connects, sometimes it doesn't work out... so I saw that there is an Ethernet card installed in the laptop with an Ethernet port.

    My question is this:

    I have a lot of Ethernet cables at home and I was wondering if there is a way to get internet to my laptop via the Ethernet port on my desktop, but without needing the desktop computer to be running, cause I only use my laptop these days and my router is too far to connect from my room. I hope you understand my problem. In theory, I think it's possible to do, but I'm not sure how, so please help me on this one. my laptop also has firewire, but I prefer ethernet for some reason any.

    Thank you

    Hello

    Sorry, but you cannot get a connection via another computer if the computer is off.

    I'm not sure that I understand completely the topology.  However, if the office is connected by cable to a router for Internet connection, you can solve the problem by buying a simple network switch.

    You take the cable from the desktop and connect to the switch. Then you plug the desktop and laptop computer at the switch.

    That this switch network does, it divides a cable to feed many computers.

    Example of a switch that can be connected with a cable to a router and feed 5 computers.

  • Problem to stay connected to the internet through the wireless router.

    I'm having a strange problem.  My computer will stay connected wireless for anywhere between 2-30 minutes before losing connectivity.  However, it works when I plug it into the router, which is what I'm doing now.  I have tried everything I can think of to eliminate the problem, but it has not changed.  Usually, once it shuts down it will stay off until I have change the frequency of router or something.  Reset the router works every time some time, but nothing is definitely the problem.

    I disabled ipv6, reset the router, update windows, restarted several times that I have unplugged router and modem, reconfigured frequency channel of the router, among other things.

    It must be a problem with my computer because my roommate both have computers that are working properly.  In addition, it is a relatively new problem.  I've had my computer for a few months now and it has worked well up until that 2 days ago.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
