using wireless adsl router exclusively as wireless point for ics
Hi everyone.
I have a Netgear DG834G wireless adsl router. However, I do not have an adsl connection, instead i use 56k dial up. I currently share the dial-up connection via windows xp's ICS and a wired ethernet network. I wish to use the DG834G as a wireless access point though, and still use ICS.
I have got the router up and running, all PCs (3) on my network access each other fine (only one is wireless at the moment). However, I cannot get ICS ro work.
Obviously in the past the PC with the dial-up connection would DHCP an address to the other PCs, this allowed the ICS to occur. Now though, it is the router that DHCPs the addresses.
Is it still possible to use ICS with this ADSL modem/router? (Yes I do know that you can purchase waps that are not adsl modems, lol)
Also, an unrelated question. The DG834G modem continually tries to connect to an adsl service - its status is always connecting. Does anybody know a way to stop it searching for a connection, without having an adsl service?
