For the life of me, I can't figure this out. I had it working once in my network, but never after that.
I have two machines A (Win7-x64) and B (WinXP-x86), connected through TP-Link's TL-MR3420 Router (wired connections). Computer A has an EVDO device connected directly in a USB port and is connected to the Internet. Now I want to share this connection with machine B. Can anyone tell me exactly what configuration would work?
- Do I need to run DHCP on both the router and the EVDO device? If yes, what ranges should I assign?
- Do I need to assign static or automatic IPs on both EVDO and router connections on both machines? If static, exactly what IPs would work?
- Both the router and the EVDO device need to have an IP assigned to themselves too. What should be assigned there?
- Do I need to enable ICS?
I have literally tried dozens of combinations of the above without success. In some cases, I can even see the EVDO connection in the taskbar area of machine B, but it never browses the Internet.
Thank you.
Thanks Chris. I'll try the first one. The second one however doesn't appear to have worked in the past. As soon as I disable DHCP on either the router and/or the EVDO device and restart, I can no longer access them. Not sure why. – dotNET – 2013-11-18T11:11:12.097
Fair enough. Without the EVDO DHCP you probably would need the IP set to static. If it were me, I'd have both it and the LAN IP on the host static anyway, with the DNS hardcoded in. That's just the way I like it for anything that acts as a host @dotNET – Chris – 2013-11-18T12:39:45.813
