I got a wireless broadband modem (Huawei E1750) hooked up to my computer (call it A., running Windows-7) whose internet I wish to share to my other computer (call it B., also running Windows-7).
A. is hooked up to my d-link DIR-600 router using a wired connection to port 1 on the router.
B. is connected to the router using a wireless connection.
Now I have tried setting up the sharing according to the help files for ICS but I have not been able to get it working. I suspect that there is something in my hardware configuration that is making it difficult.
I would appreciate some tips and pointers as to what could be the reason to my problems.
I.e I should let the router act like a switch instead? I'm gonna try your suggestion when I get home. Sounds like it should work.
I do have wireless on both boxes but I also (not mentioned in my description) have a NAS (Mybook) hooked up to the router. But if your first suggestion doesn't work I will try this as a temporary fix. Worst comes to worst I can get crossed tp-cabel and hook the NAS into A. instead. – Skadlig – 2010-03-29T07:25:50.767
Yes, "bridge" and "switch" mean the same thing in the context of Ethernet. – Spiff – 2010-03-29T09:19:38.270
The first suggestion worked like a charm. Thanks – Skadlig – 2010-03-29T16:26:30.377
