Sharing IBurst wirelessly for IPOD sync

[Carr0t]

Hey guys, I know a couple of basics but this has got me overheating in the upstairs departments for a while now.

- My pc connects to the internet with an Iburst modem thats connected through LAN.
- And then I've got a D-link wireless access point that's connected to the other LAN port on my pc.
- Now I want to Share the internet connection over the accesspoint so that I can connect wirelessly with the Ipod Touch.

So...how...? Do I have to bridge the two LAN connections? Do i just leave them be and tick "share internet connection" on the LAN thats connected to the AccessPoint? None of those work by the way at pressent. The Ipod can connect to the Access point but there's no internet, so I don't know if the type of encryption I use on the accesspoint may effect this?

I hope there's someone here who's tried the same (please oh please) or who can help?

Would it matter whether I use WEP or WPA etc encryption?

Corect me if i am wrong here you have the iburst modem conected directly to the PC via Lan (so the pc dials up the modem) then you have the d-link conected top the pc for whatever reason.

THE dlink cant initiate a PPOE conection? and if you tried sharing internet conection and it didnt work, you might have to fiddle with that setting to allow the dlink to get acess to the computers internet coection if not theh best option get a router that can initate a ppoe conection and use that to dial the modem and conect the pc and ipad to that if it has wifi if not conect the dlink for wifi

For my iphone:

Laptop connects through USB, shares internet
Trednet connects via cable to laptop
Iphone connects wireless to trendnet and uses laptops shared connection

In the iphone settings, set a static ip [might have to static ip your entire network], choose ip address in your range, choose the subnet mask

Key point: for the ROUTER setting on the iphone/ipod - make that the ip address of the computer that is sharing the internet.

dns: 8.8.8.8 is google's dns [highly recommended]

Thats how I did it.
