Sorry guys & gals this is going to be a stupid thread I know but we're not so bright down here (ie can't figure out how to do). SO please can someone send us a kids version of how to do it PLEASE?
What we want to do?
Allow all computers in our peer-to-peer network to be able to log onto the Internet via our wireless & wired router.
Hardware information ...
11 PC's running a mixture of Win 98, ME & XP (HE & Pro)
All on a peer-to-peer network
Main machine which we use to store our data is running Win ME
Router is a Netgear DG824M (ie wireless & wired (4 LAN ports)) connected to PC3 via a standard CAT5 cable
PC3 is connected other machines wirelessly using a Netgear MA111 via a wireless access point (Netgear ME102) connected to our network via a wired CAT5 cable.
Router & other pc connection on PC3 is perfect - no problems
Other machines can see the other pc's again with no problem
The data machine (or what we call the main/server machine) has an IP address of 192.168.0.1 (subnet mask 255.255.255.0)
The router also has a default IP address of 192.168.0.1
No conflicts occur on PC3 though
PC3 cannot see the network & the router wirelessly, a wired connection to the network is needed - can you not have more than 1 wireless AP - and then it has no problems
As soon as we connect the router to the main pc or onto the main network (ie take out the WAP and use the Wireless WAP of the router instead) we get an IP conflict on the main PC (as it too has an IP address of 192.168.0.1)
Someone has mentioned we should use DHCP but we still don't have a clue
What we want?
What is the best hardware structure for us (ie where is it best to connect the router and do we need the other WAP then?)
How do we then get the other pc's to log onto the internet using it - is it wired or wirelessly?
Is it secure?
BASICALLY WE NEED HELP!!!
So please someone show us a BABY way of doing this that works & is safe
We have tried ICS but to no avail at the moment!!!
HELP!
