Sharing Dial-Up Connection through router

[elL0L]

Hi

I have a USB ADSL modem and a wireless router modem, but the ADSL functionality doesn't work anymore.

How can I share the ADSL internet connection via Wifi through my router?

• Plug the USB modem into a PC, and set up the PPPoE connection on it.
• Plug the PC's network interface into a LAN port on the wireless router.
• Use Internet Connection Sharing to share the PPPoE connection with your network.

I've shared the connection through the properties, but my phone can only pickup the Wifi signal, but not the internet connection.

you need to setup DHCP on the wireless router to serve IP addresses in the same subnet as the IP's of your router and PC, and using the IP of the PC as the gateway.

To add to my previous post:

• Disable DHCP on the wireless router

Should've mentioned that.... Do that, then disconnect your from the WiFi network and reconnect. Check that your phone's default gateway is the same IP address as your PC is binding on its network interface (i.e. that the phone routes its traffic to the Internet via your PC), and that its DNS server is the same IP address again.

Thanks for the help.

I have a Galaxy S2 and all it does is "obtaining IP address from ... ". Any help there?

Never mind, I configured the IP address automatically.

I disabled DHCP on my router, I've shared the dial-up connection, I've configured the default gateway, changed the DNS server. Have I missed something?

IP address: 192.168.1.253
Gateway: 192.168.1.254
Netmask: 255.255.255.0
DNS 1: 192.168.1.100

Here's what you need to do:

1. Disable DHCP server on your ADSL router - which you've already done
2. Share your USB ADSL modem's connection with ICS (Internet Connection Sharing)
   In Windows XP this will set the other LAN/WiFi connection's IP address to 192.168.0.1, subnet mask 255.255.255.0
   Where as in Windows 7, it will set it to 192.168.137.1, subnet mask 255.255.255.0
   Now this PC will act on a DHCP server on that other network interface.
3. Now you simply connect to the normal router either via LAN/WiFi with other network devices (eg. Galaxy S2), and then you should get an IP address in the 192.168.0.x or 192.168.137.x range.

Your Galaxy S2 should get a Gateway (& DNS server) of either 192.168.0.1 or 192.168.137.1 (depending on the ICS PC's operating system), netmask 255.255.255.0
