Ok, heres the situation:
I sold my soul, or rather my parental did, to convince them to get ADSL they insisted on signing the contract - long story... But the short of it is, im stuck with telkoms adsl modem/wifi/switch.
The modem is connected to my desktop via the usb cable.
My PC is connected to an external switch that distributes internet to 2 desktop PC's, and sometimes mine and my grand-dads laptops (on diagram shown as one laptop).
I would like to be able to take advantage of the supplied WIFI capability. The laptops connect to the wifi network fine, I am able to view my desktops PC's shared folders - nothing else. The internet sharing is set to my wired network.
Now I am not using the telkoms modems switch because its crap - I tried using it one day and everyone complained that it slowed down traffic. I then restarted my desktop and the entire network ceased to function.
So the wired network is plugged back into my switch (not the telkom one) and the wired network works 100%.
So here I ask you: How the #$%# do I get internet over WIFI to work?!
Any help would be appreciated.
