share usb 3g

[leonb]

I have a small wireless network setup connecting 3 computers using a Linksys WRT54G router.

We are still waiting for telkom to get lines to the new office for ADSL.

I have a USB 3G Vodacom card. What options do I have to share the 3G internet connection between the 3 computers on the network.

Thanks

Is it the Huawei E220 HSDPA modem?

Can you not set up ICS on one of the PC's?

Yes it is?

I have never used this before. Any pointers on how to set up.

The problem is that all the computers are laptops, and not one will be in the office 100% of the time. Will probably need to set up a server?

Ok, the reason I asked, is that I also have an E220 [thanks to v3g ] which uses the generic Huawei dashboard software - I don't know about the Vodafone Mobile Connect Lite dashboard that is pre-loaded nowadays on the E220's, anyways the network connection created by the Huawei s/w in Windoze heXPee, does not provide the advanced tab where Internet Connection Sharing can normally be enabled in Windoze - it's likely that the VMC Lite s/w does provide the advanced tab - best to try that...
