once i have connected my iburst is there any way for me to shre this with my other machines at home via wireless conection or ethernet

i tyed all the option and ics connections and all sort of bridge and stuff like that.

when i have my iburst ppoe connection it creates a local area connection using iburt terminal as an adapter, it says it has limited connectivity. when i try to use this to bridge or connect my other machines at home to the internet i cannot. i tryed using wireless and ethernet and they cant connect.

can anyone help me, perhaps i am just stupid or something.

Well a router would be far easier for a start, with ICS your host PC has to be connected and on all the time, a router does the connecting automaticaly for you and has some other features.

But anyway, all you need to do is make shure that all of the PC's on your LAN have a fixed IP adress in the same range, and are all set to allow ICS as well as having their gateway set to the IP of your host PC (the one with the modem) then it should be fine. Just check that they can actually connect to each other normally on a LAn to make shure it isnt a network problem.

I think that is all you need to do.. but I have hardly ever tried it myself so im not too shure.
 
Its really quite simple

Server :
1. Make sure your real network card has "obtain ip automatically" under TCP/IP
2. Enable ICS on your PPPOE connection aka iBurst aka Broaband connection
3. When this is enabled your Real Network card will change its IP to 192.168.0.1.If you want you can change it to 172.16.10.? or 10.0.0.?
4. Go to your Network Card TCP/IPs settings to confirm its changed

Workstation :

1. Obtain IP , dns ,etc automatically (ie DHCP)
2. If that doesnt work enter the following

ip - 192.168.0.2
subnet mask - 255.255.255.0
default gateway - 192.168.0.1
Pri DNS - 192.168.0.1

Dont worry about the "limited or no connectivity" problem.Thats on the Virtual network card.Its got no bearing on your connection whatsoever.The reason why it appears is because your Virtual NIC is trying to contact a DHCP server and cannot.
