I currently live in the boondocks where the only internet we can receive is through Verizon's wireless card. This means that only one user can be on the internet at a time through an USB modem connection. However I was wondering if there was a way to work around this.
Is there a possibility to set up a network in which the verizon modem is connected to the internet through a Windows 7 PC and setting up that PC to act as a router. In other words, could I connect to my PC with another PC or iPod touch to gain internet access to where multiple users can access the internet?
From my understanding Windows ICS is the equivalent of NATing, and if you have Windows starter, either upgrade or switch to Linux, as starter is good for next-to-nothing. But yes it is possible, I have a very similar setup at my house with my cell phone as the ISP link to my laptop being a router. – CenterOrbit – 2011-06-01T01:55:51.347
And @BMDan is correct as it may violate your ToS, I am not sure since you are using Verizon... but theoretically if it is NATing, Verizon would know no different of to where the traffic is originating from other than that laptop. – CenterOrbit – 2011-06-01T01:57:18.413
