Hi guys

This is what I have

2 x Desktop PC's, both with Windows 7

2 x working LAN Cables

1 x wireless Router

1 x USB Cell C Modem

This is what I want:-

Connect both PC's to one network through the Router

Internet working on both PC's

Internet working through the router as well (wireless for laptops etc in the house)

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

This is what is happening:-

PC's connected to the same workgroup. Can play LAN games and copy and share files etc.

Internet only on the PC that has the USB Modem connected. Other PC shows work group but no internet on that screen.

I have shared everything on the working PC but yet the other one doesnt connect.

Also no idea how to activate the internet on the wireless router.


Any step by step suggestions?

How do I delete a workgroup on Windows?

Regards
 
I have an old ADSL Telkom Router that can do wireless.

How do I set the gateway?

Is there a simple step by step guide to configure all of the above?

I know a little bit about computers, but am not an expert.
 
Lets forget the ROUTER for now. If I just connect the LAN cable between 2 PC's and create a homegroup successfully, what do I do from there. The "guest" PC shows the homegroup and "joined", but also "no internet available".
 
make sure all pc are on the network and can see one another.
connect your cellC Modem to one pc.
download wingate, the package consist of server and client. Install the server on the pc connected with CellC modem and install the other pc's
with the client. start server on pc and setup the user you want to have internet access.
start your clinet on the other pc's, the moment the client start select the server and you will be sorted.
 
Both PC's can see each other. We can share files and play LAN games etc.

Wingate downloaded. Will do rest thanks!!
