Connect through a wireless connection

Tommy, on Monday July 7, 2008 02:40:57 PM
Hello,
Ok heres my issue. I connect to the internet using a free wireless connection in the city. My desk top uses this connection. I want to take that connection from my desk top and use the ethernet port to connect the desk top to another router. Then use that routers wireless to connect my lap top and wired connections for Xbox.

I am connecting the desk top ethernet to the uplink/internet port on the router using a crossover cable.

My desk top connection IP address is 192.168.0.4 and trhe gateway ip is 192.168.0.2

The routers default address is 192.168.0.1 How do i get this to work??? I tired to to do the internet connection sharing and it came up with an error.

I also used te network set up wizard saying the desk top connects directly to the internet and other computers connect through this conputer, and then set the lap top as this computer connects through another computer or router, but it keeps coming up with an error.

I have a feeling it is some IP address conflicts, but one thing i did do was on the ethernet connection on the desktop i changed the default gateway ip address to 192.168.0.55 just so it wouldnt conflict with the default gateway on the wireless, but i dont think i had the right idea when i did that...anyone please help
Configuration: Windows XP
Internet Explorer 7.0

Try to configure your Ip manually

Go to your network places
Then right click on the wireless device

Click on properties
Click on Internet Protocol (tcp /Ip )


Then set up manually the ip

And put your router id as gateway .



it Should work


If there is any iP conflict it is because two post are using same ip


To check the ip go to Start
Run
Type Cmd

A dos window will appear
then Type Ipconfig
You will have the actual Ip of the Pc

I am not connecting through the router though. I am connecting my desktop to the internet through another wireless connection and connecting my wireless router through my desktop.

any luck yet i have the same issue thought it would be simple.

surly there is a way to go from wlan thru the desktop out the lan to the wireless router for distribution of the internet signal.

I think you are just making things hard on yourself. Hardware is cheap and time is expensive.

I would get a wireless router (which I have), then connect to the wireless router with your other devices, up to four, and directly connect your desktop to the router. A wireless router will take 4 direct wire connections which can be expanded and almost an infinite number of wireless devices. You can probably get an 801g free somewhere.

I too suffer from the same problem, I will share what I know **doesn't** work. You have to change the router IP to 192.168.1.1 It's DHCP can't then try to assign a conflicting number. You have enable internet sharing or bridge your two devices (incoming wireless and outgoing ethernet) which then goes to the wireless router.

My laptop shows I have an internet connection, but it doesn't.

I tried everything but assigning the router's primary address as the gateway and using a cross-over cable.

I'm not doing anything today, so I am going to try to figure it out.

This is the only place I have found where they even discuss it.

This time I shared the incoming wireless device. The ip address of the desktop is automatically changed to 192,168.0.1 when you enable sharing.

The router doesn't care. I changed the router address to 192.168.1.1.

I have the ethernet cable (cat 5 not a cross over cable) plugged in to the connection on the router where you would normally put an internet modem, the one segregated (usually on the far right side on D-link).

I went to the other room, and connected to my local net, clicked IE and, voila! it worked!

I hope this helps someone.
