I hope I am in the correct Forum as I find it difficult to understand some of the terms. For example, I consider a "mobile internet connection" to be one on a cell phone BUT it might mean any connection using a SIM card as opposed to an ADSL line.
I do NOT have an ADSL line. I subscribe to Telkom's LYE 4G Internet service via a Huawei B593 Router and a SIM card. I have three computers which belong to the "Workgroup" PARADISE. PC1 and PC3 run under Windows 7 (32 bit) Professional while PC2 used Windows XP SP3. PC3 is connected directly to the Huawei router via an Ethernet cable. There are no Internet connectivity problems with this computer. PC3 and the Huawei router are in a separate study to PC1 and PC2.
PC1 is connected to the Huawei router's radio link, "Pamela", by a Linksys Wireless-G USB adapter. The connection also works.
The problem occurs from now on. PC2 is linked to PC1 (they are in the same room) by Ethernet cables through a TP-Link MR3420 router. (I will need the additional Ethernet ports for my network printer - which only uses Ethernet connections - when it comes back from servicing.) This connection is identified as "Network 3" and has no Internet connection. Ignoring the Internet PC! sees PC2 and PC3.
Problem 1.
With Network 3 connected PC1 has no Internet connection as viewed in "Network and Sharing Centre". Disconnecting Network 3 (disabling or switching off the TP-Link router) restores the Internet connection. Network 3 is listed as "Home Network".
Problem 2.
Now, if I switch on the TP-Link router AFTER PC1 has booted completely the network ling is identified as an "Unknown Connection" and designated as a "Public Network". I have not found a way to either reassign the network as a "Home Network" or to change it to Network 3.
What is going on with problems 1 and 2 and how can I resolve them?
Also, is there any way to list ALL networks associated with PC1 whether they are connected or not? Is it possible to delete a network from the computer and not just disable it?
Problem 3 (if I may).
PC2 has a Canyon 802.11g Wireless PCI card installed. It is disabled in problems 1 and 2. This card has been configured to connect to "Pamela" which it does BUT the connection has "limited or no connectivity". All my connections are set to find IP and DNS addresses automatically. What needs to be changed to make this link connect to the Internet via "Pamela"?
My ideal solution would be to remove the Linksys gateway and make PC1 and PC2 connect to Pamela via the TP-Link's wireless. Unfortunately neither PC1 nor PC2 sees the wireless.
I have been battling with this problem since mid April and have tried everything I know. Can anyone help, please.
