3 Computers 1 Wireless Router 1 Wireless NIC

by cm091961 . Updated 19 years, 3 months ago

Heres my setup:

Computer 1:
Ethernet NIC Cable to Wireless Router
IP 192.168.0.2 / 255.255.255.0 / 192.168.0.5
Static assignment by router
Access to Intranet Yes
Access to Internet Yes

Router: DLink DI-624 Wireless
WAN IP Provided by ISP
LAN IP 192.168.0.5 Static
DHCP Server Yes
Range allowed: 192.168.0.1 to 192.168.0.2

Computer 2:
Wireless NIC to Router
Ethernet NIC Cable to Computer 3
Wireless NIC IP 192.168.0.1 / 255.255.255.0 /
192.168.0.5 – Static assignment by router
(This IP is required for WinXP to enable Internet Connection Sharing on this NIC)
Ethernet NIC IP 10.10.10.5 / 255.255.255.0
Access to Intranet Yes
Access to Internet Yes

Computer 3:
Ethernet NIC Cable to Computer 2
IP 10.10.10.10 / 255.255.255.0 / 10.10.10.5
Access to Intranet Yes
Access to Internet Yes AND NO

Computer 2, running Windows XP Professional has IP Routing Enabled and Internet Connection Sharing Enabled for the Wireless NIC.

Computer 3 can see the router and computers 1 and 2. Computer 3 can ping its way as far as the ISP on the WAN side of the router.

Here’s the problem: Computer 3 CANNOT access the internet using any browser (IE Explorer or Netscape).

Why can I ping the ISP but not access the internet with computer 3?

Please Help, Thanks
