Hi,
I have a couple of questions i would like someone to assist me with. I am trying to have 2 PC’s use the same Blueyonder/Telewest ISP broadband connection.
Here is how i have gone about setting my home network up so far.
My new network consists of the following:
2 PC’s – Named Pc 1 & PC 2
PC1 (Windows2k) has an ethernet card connected via Cat5 cable into a netgear switch. PC1 also has the USB Broadband Modem connected to the PC’s USB port.
PC2 (Windows XP) has an ethernet card again connected via Cat5 to my netgear switch.
PC1’s (LAN1) Nic has been assigned the address 192.168.0.1 -Subnet 255.255.255.0
PC2’s (LAN1) Nic has been assigned the address 192.168.0.2 -Subnet 255.255.255.0
PC1’s (LAN2) USB has been assigned the address 82.xx.xx.xx via DHCP
(At this point PC1 can connect fine to the internet)
I have right clicked the USB (LAN2) properties tab and checked the box which says enable internet connection sharing.
But at no point can i ever get an internet connection from PC2. Also unless i create an account on both pc’s which have identical credentials e.g. username and password are exactly the same i am propmted with the enter username and password dialog box when i attempt to c$ onto either pc remotely.
Qustion 1 -When you create a peer-peer network do you have to create an account e.g Jim with the same password on both PC1 and PC2?
Question 2 – I can’t access the internet on PC2 even though i have set internet connection sharing. What am i doing wrong are there settings i still need to set in the browser or TCP/IP properties tab?
Question 3 – on the TCP/IP properties tab what goes in as the defualt gateway address?
Question 4 – Is it possible to share my Blueonder Broadband internet access without a router. I know i did it before a few years ago on dialup but don’t remember have so much difficulty.
Any assistance on any of these matteres greatly appreciated.
