Hello all,

I recently moved and in the process had to change up my networking.

I have DSL internet and i used to have an ethernet line connected to the modem, which was then connected to a switch, which I used to split that DSL connection between my computer and a few other devices.

After moving, I now connect to a wireless router using a USB wifi antenna attached to my computer. I'd like to be able to share that internet connection through the hub (or a 2nd router) as I used to, but I cannot seem to get ICS to work.

I'm able to share documents and ping devices on my network (connected through my 2nd router) but can't for the life of me get an internet connection.

I'm assuming this is some setting I need to change on the 1st router (that is providing the internet connection) but I'm stumped.

Can anyone offer any help?

Thanks!

Put USB WIFI on the other devices and connect directly to the Router's Wireless.

You can find Wireless adapters for less than $10 so it is Not a big deal.

As for ICS it is actually a software Router.

So you have a source Router you put on ICS and its connects to a second Router.

That is One network with triple Routing.

Nah, it would Not work.
