Internet connection sharing with a modem and WRT54G

I currently have dial-up at my location, I will have dsl when i move down the street in about 2-3 months. My question is, I would like to hook up my WRT54G router to my desktop computer that has a external modem hooked to it. I would like to be able to use my laptop from my shop location out in the backyard without having to tie myself into the computer in the house. How can I be able to use the wireless link between the laptop and the router and have it dial the modem on the desktop so I can access the internet out in the shop? I read that this can't be done if using dhcp. I can see both computers hard drives on each machine. Would anyone know of any software that would allow me do this? Thanks, Joseph

Configure WRT54G as access point only, so labtop can communicate with desktop that has Internet connection. Enable Internet Connection Sharing on desktop to share the Internet connection to labtop.
Hope helps..

Internet connection sharing between Mac Mini and Imac G3- how?

Ok, I'm trying to connect my G3 Imac (running 10.4.8) to my Mac Mini (also running 10.4.8) but it just wont work.
I've turned Internet Connection sharing on on my Mac Mini, and set it to share the airport connection to computers connected using Built in ethernet.
Network (on the M Mini) shows
Built-In Ethernet is currently active. Built-In Ethernet has a self assigned IP address and may not be able to connect to the Internet.
Network (on the G3) shows
Built-In Ethernet is currently active and has the IP address 192.168.2.7. You are connected to the Internet via Built-In Ethernet.
When i try to go to a webpage on the G3 it fails stating, 'You are not connected to the Internet'.
I'm using a standard straight through ethernet cable, as I was told a while ago from apple support that it doesn't matter which u use, straight through or crossover.
Any help would be really appreciated
Macbook 2.0Ghz 2GB 80GB/Mac Mini 1.42Ghz 1GB 80GB/Imac G3 450Mhz 640MB 80GB Mac OS X (10.4.8)

OK after some playing about I can now manage to connect to the mac mini and vice versa to share files.
The iMac G3 now says it has an IP address of 192.168.2.18, and that it's connected to the internet via built-in ethernet. I've set configure IPV4 to Using DHCP.
Except it's not connected to the net.
If i select Using DHCP on the Mini it doesn't obtain an IP address, not even a self set one. So i've set a manual IP address on that, and everything shows up green. Airpot connected to the internet and Ethernet has an IP address of 192.168.2.30.
After reading some forums I set up firewall logging. The result is what happens on the Mac Mini when I use network diagnostics on the G3:
Feb 11 16:43:52 richard-xxxxx-mac-mini natd[394]: failed to write packet back (Host is down)
So I opened port 394 (not really knowing what i'm trying) but it had no effect.

Internet connection lost using hughesnet modem and Airport in Time Capsule

I recently got Hughesnet which is the only available high speed internet at my home.
The problem I'm having is that my wireless connectivity is lost to all devices requiring me to unplug and plug back in my Airport...at which time I have internet again until it goes out again.
The problem does not appear to be an actual lost internet connection through my Hughesnet modem.
Any thoughts on how to fix this problem? I have reset my Airport to factory settings and named it TCwireless for simplicity.

Internet Connection Sharing with onboard LAN

Hi
Does anyone know if it's possible to setup Internet Connection Sharing using the onboard LAN? I've managed to get shared files and folders working, but can't get internet access on the client PC.
Using the K8MM3-V
Windows XP Pro on both PC's
I have 3 NIC's I can use.
The Host PC is using the onboard LAN to connect to the internet
I'm using a Realtek RTL8139 Family PCI Fast Ethernet NIC in both the host and client PC's
The Host PC also has a NETGEAR FA312 Fast Ethernet Adapter (Currently disabled)
I'm using crossover cable and 2 NIC's method.
I don't have a hub, switch or router.
I've had it working before on Windows 2000 Pro, but can't remember how I did it. (I think it just all worked straight away).
Anyonew knows if this is possible, please let me know.
Thanks
Michael

Have a look here.

Comcast Troubles with RCA modem and WRT54G

Can anyone help me set up my router with comcast? I have searched the web endlessly trying to find a fix to set up my router with my modem. When my computer is hard wired into my RCA modem thinks work like a breeze. AS soon as I connect my router things go south. I have endlessly tried cloning Mac address, power cycles (removed battery), to no avail.
Currently I have
Comcast Triple Play with an RCA Modem
Linksys WRT54g running Tomatoe firmware.
Im wondering if the firmware is the issue, or perhaps I am missing a step with that firmware.
Any help would be much appreciated.

I have no knowledge about tomato firmware and how to configure it. However, configuration should be the same with Linksys firmware. It might be on a different tab or different name though. Here's the configuration.

Hi..I have an AirPort Extreme base connected to my DSL Modem and has been working fine. But I recently bought another DSL modem along with the latest Airport Express. With this one however I can't get it to connect to the Internet. Any suggestions?

Hi..I have an AirPort Extreme base connected to my DSL Modem and has been working fine. But I recently bought another DSL modem along with the latest Airport Express. With this one however I can't get it to connect to the Internet. The light on the Express is flashing green though. Does it mean I have to re-set the settings on Airport Utility? I.e. the old settings haven't been cleared yet. Any suggestions?

Let's see if I can get this straight.
You have an Airport Extreme base station that is set to "Create a wireless network" and you have the box checked for "allow this network to be extended"....
Then you have an Airport Express that is set to "Extend a wireless network" which you selected the name of your network in the box...
Correct?
See this Apple document:

The wireless unit on the right of the diagram can be either of the newer Apple base stations.

Problem with Internet connection sharing between eMac and Powerbook G3

Hi,
I seem to be having a slight problem with internet connection sharing.
My eMac is the main machine with the internet connection, and its running 10.4.6, the Powerbook G3 is running 10.2.8.
I can connect them all up and get online with both, but I the problem I am having is when I turn the Firewall on on the eMac, the powerbook can't connect.
Is there anyway I can keep the Firewall enabled and still use internet connection sharing?

How do I know which ports the Powerbook is using?
Also I had web sharing enabled on the eMac and it made no difference at all.
Plus I don't know if this means anything to you, trying to decipher it myself, all I can make out myself on there is port 80.

Network Configuration Window Freezes When USB NDIS Internet Connection Sharing and Ethernet Port Are Used Simultaneously

Current Setup:
Asrock Extreme 4 Z77 mobo with built-in Broadcom NetLink (TM) Gigabit Ethernet. Windows 8 Pro. Intel i5-3570k (using onboard Intel 4000 HD Graphics). RAID0- 2 OCZ Vertex 4's.
I will refer to this setup as my tower.
The Ethernet port works fine by itself. When I use wired tethering with my Android phone (Droid 4 running on 4.0.4 Ice Cream Sandwich), it works fine when nothing is connected into the Ethernet port in the mobo.
The issue arises when I try to connect both simultaneously. The network configuration window in windows basically freezes and I cannot really navigate it without a ~60 second delay at best.
I would like to be able to accept the internet from my Android via a USB tether and either bridge the connection or use the internet connection sharing service to route traffic through the unused Ethernet port on the mobo (either to another computer/xbox
or more desirably a switch/router to spread to the entire home network). I have extensively researched the issue of Windows 8 become slow and unresponsive when I attempt to do this and I have not found anyone with the exact problem. I am able to
do both the MAC bridge miniport (bridge 2 connections) and Internet Connection Sharing though a Windows Vista (home premium) Laptop I have. The difference between the laptop and the tower I am try to do this on is the laptop has a WIFI and Ethernet connection
while the tower only has the on-board Ethernet.
Do I have all the necessary equipment to accomplish this, or do I need to buy a PCIe WIFI card? If so could I get away with just getting a USB WIFI dongle?
Any help would be very appreciated.

I had the same problem and came here by searching.
Per Rosengren's method solved the problem, but he didn't say how to do it, so I'll try to explain step-by-step for anyone that may venture here.
Open Device Manager (right click on Computer > Manage > on the left side, under System Tools choose Device Manager)
Choose the problematic device in Network Adapters (for me it's called HTC Remote NDIS based device)
Right click on it and choose Update Driver Software...
Click Browse my computer for driver software
Click Let me pick from a list of device drivers
Uncheck the box Show compatible hardware
For the manufacturer, choose Microsoft Corporation
Now you will have two options:
- Remote NDIS based Internet Sharing Device
- Remote NDIS Compatible Device
I chose the second one and it solved the problem, but if it doesn't work you could try the other one. In my case, the driver that was being used was neither of these, but a special driver from Android SDK ADT bundle.
Pick one and click Next. If a dialog comes up, confirm by clicking Yes.
Wait a few seconds for the connection to restart. If it doesn't work, try disabling and reenabling USB tethering on the phone, or reconnect the USB cable.
I should also note that I'm using a custom Android ROM on HTC Wildfire S (unofficial Cyanogenmod). If you have a stock ROM with HTC Sense, maybe this method may not work and you'll need a proprietary HTC driver.

Internet connection being faulty at home and work, along with certain programs refusing to work, i.e. creative cloud, word, preview

My internet connection seems to cut out and nothing loads to even a no internet connection page. This happens at home and work so its not the providers problem and every other device connected to the wifi is working. I realise some programs run with internet but programs such as preview and others close immediately after opening with on explanation
I've also tried resetting permissions and clearing DNS, seemed to be successful for a shortwhile but the problem persists

UML290 Internet Connection Sharing

Once upon a time a Verizon Tech helped me set up ICS on my WinXP machines... And, I promptly forgot some of the details. So, I am sharing them here.
Basically, what you will be doing is sharing the UML290 Internet Connection while using the Host Computers Ethernet as the Default Gateway.
BTW, You can rename your Network Connections so that they are easier to keep straight in your head. Right-Click on a Network Connections Line Entry and rename.
On The Host Computer (The one that *HAS* the 4G lte Modem Connected to it.)
On your 4G lte properties, under the 'Advanced' tab, in the Internet Connection Sharing block, check both boxes.
Under the 'General' tab make sure both 'Automatically' check boxes are checked.
On The Host Computer Ethernet Properties, under the 'General' Tab, Use the following IP Address: 192.168.0.1 with a mask (automatically set when you tab out) set to: 255.255.255.0
To set up the Client Computer (The one that the USB Modem is *NOT* connected to) you will need to know the Primary and Alternate DNS servers IP addresses. To do so...
1. Open Network Connections
2. Right-Click on the Modem entry
3. Click on 'Status'
4. Select the 'Support' tab
5. Select the 'Details' button
Copy down the DNS Servers IP Addresses... Then close everrything out.
On the Client Computer select the Ethernet Connection being used to interconnect the two Computers.
You may need a Cross-Over Cable if either or both Computers have any age ont them.
Some newer computers automatically detect and switch over, not needing a cross-over cable.
*IF* your computers can't see each other at all, you need to obtain a Cross-Over Cable.
OK, moving on... Under the General Tab: Select Use the following IP Address:
IP Address: 192.168.0.2
Mask: 255.255.255.0
Default gateway: 192.168.0.1
Close out of all property boxes...
Bring up your Browser and see if it can find Google or any other site you need to get to.
Hope This Helps...

VZAM sometimes does not unload properly, so it's running even if you don't see it. You may see one (or even two) instances of the process in the Task Mgr. You can kill it and restart it. One reason it takes time to start and stop is that it has to wait for Wireless Zero Config service to stop so it can take control of WiFi connections. When it exits, is usually restarts WZC service.
You can also set yoru VZAM prefs for manual startup of the program and connections. In this case if a connection is lost, you may have to manually re-connect.

Internet Connection Sharing using java

Dear all,
I am currently trying to figure out a solution for making an application which would help me accomplish ICS.
I have googled for ideas on this, without too much help.
My ideas so far :
1) Detect input(wait a min. how can I detect if this is the "live" wire ?) from a network interface and then try to share/redirect the traffic to the other n/w interfaces.
2) Actually listing all the n/w interfaces and asking the user to select the master interface.
the problem is, this may also have a few wireless connections hence I would need to know the signal strengths and then post WAP/WEP info too.
I am thinking of using jpcap for this.
This is the first time I am doing such a thing. Please let me know how do I proceed with this. I dont even know if the lines that I am thinkin on (1 & 2) are even correct.
I would be grateful for any pointers on this.
rgds,

If you are talking about NAT? like the real internet connection sharing that many routers, firewalls, etc use to virtualize an IP then it cannot be done in PURE JAVA. Of course you can do something with JNI and possiably even get it to work. But then you will probably just be using features of the platform that your computer is installed upon as in order to do NAT, you have to be able to inject your code into the IP stack code.
Linux you could do it easily as long as the kernel supported it, as you would just have to run ipchains/ipfw commands.
in windows, I have no idea.
However, if you are talking about a proxy, then there are many implementations already done. Proxies are almost trivial to implement these days.

Wireless connectivity issues with Macbook Pro and At&t service HELP!!!!!

I have three Computers two PC's and one Macbook Pro( the latest model).My desktop PC is used by ethernet, my girls laptop is used wirelessly and finally my MBP was being used wirelessly.
I started off with only the two PCs and my internet connection never had a problem and I was doing everything from: on the internet to downloading.
Before I bought my MBP I had also switched from internet and phone bundle to just internet from At&t service. So when I got my first MBP I notice that I was loosing wireless connection with both my girls pc laptop and my MBP so i thought it was because I had just switched service, though they send out a service technician and we came to a conclusion that it was the MBP. (I was loosing signal via wireless and ethernet). So we tried to see if both my girls laptop(wireless) and my PC desktop (ethernet) would run into the same issue which it did not.(MBP was turned off)
So I decided to go my nearest Apple store and let them know what was going on. So I told them what was going on and they said It must be the airport card, and they ended up changing it. When I get home I discover that not only I am having the same issue but other issues too. I went back they ran some diagnostic and they said it was defective and they gave me a new one few days later.
So in the mean time that I waited for my new one to arrive I used my PC desktop and my girl kept using her laptop and guess what no issue what so ever for one whole week. Now I receive my new MBP(they bumped the specs a little), went home set it up and still the same issue though I dont have the issue when Im using via ethernet. Just a view minutes ago I tried removing the ethernet and using the airport/wireless and within a few minutes I lost the signal.
I have the gateway 2WIRE model(2701HG-B) modem/router.
Is there something wrong? what do I have to do to make this work?

Hi Guys, I bough my Mac almost two years ago. All this time I have experienced the same issue. There are tons of discussions re this issue in the internet. Unfortunately, Apple has done nothing to fix it. I have tried a lot of different options, but they work no longer then 1-2 days. The official fix - does not exist so far. It is quit strange, isn't? I can share my experience: if you go to AirPort Utility - Manual Setup - Wireless and then change Channel, it could help you till the moment you restart your computer; next time you need to repeat it again. It takes 2 minutes. Not sure that it would work for you but you could give it a try. Well, not the best option. Anyway Apple must fix it asap! Hello Apple, do you hear us? Good luck.

Another Internet connection problem with solariis dev express

I have the same problem, i was installed new solaris dev express , my ifconfig output detects my nic
and my name nic is nge0, but i dont connect to internet.
i was reading this forums but the result is null.
i have a cable modem and i using a ethernet connection.
i use this command:
*#ifconfig nge0 dhcp start*
the result is null the dhcp doesnt assing an ip to my nic
then i create a */etc/hostname.nge0* file and follow comments that i seeing on this forums
*#uname -n > /etc/hostname.nge0* ...too i create a */etc/dhcp.nge0*
again i wrote:
*#ifconfig nge0 dhcp start*
but no , the result is null
then i follow more comments on this solaris forums and i added the dns in */etc/resolv.conf*
but the result still null
later i check the gateway using the comand
*#netstat -nr*
but only i see my loopback ip --> 127.0.0.1
too i used the command
*#sys-unconfig* , reboot ..mmm no
but still the same problem
my question is how to set the internet connection using a cable modem that workkssss!!!!!!!?
my computer is a 32bit machine with solaris devexpress and my cable modem.
how to tell to solaris which is my gateway?
i know that the command in my linux box is: route add default gw ip
what i have to do?
i modify a */etc/nsswitch.conf* and i added a dns word after files in hosts line.
create a */etc/defaultrouter* <-- this is to when i have a internal lan ip
in the */etc/hostname.nge0* put only my hostname
*/etc/hostname.nge0* <-- myhostname
or
*/etc/hostname.nge0* <-- inet myhostname
what is true? what is correct? i wsas reading about solaris offical docs about dhcpagent but i dont have clear my ideas.
please someone that you know how to set the internet connection on solaris dev exprres using the dhcp that serves on cable modem.
i dont believe that be more complicated than Linux or FreeBSD
Thanks.

I would recommend that you do the following as a minimum:
Power-down the modem, AirPort base station, and computer(s).
(OPTIONAL) While all of the devices are powered-down, perform a "factory default" reset on the base station. This will get it back to its "out-of-the-box" configuration and make setting it up much easier, especially if you use the "Assist me" process within the AirPort Utility. (ref: Resetting an AirPort Base Station or Time Capsule)
After the base station resets, go ahead and power it back down.
Power-up the modem; wait at least 10-15 minutes.
Power-up the base station; wait at least 5-10 minutes.
Power-up your computer(s).
In this basic configuration, computers connected to the base station, either by wire or wireless (as appropriate for the base station type), should now be able to access the Internet through the ISP's modem. Once Internet connectivity has been verified, you can use the AirPort Utility to configure the base station for wireless security and any other desired options.

Automate Internet Connection Sharing

I'm trying to create a couple of Automator workflows or AppleScripts to turn on and off Internet Connection Sharing, preferably with different SSIDs depending on my location (I don't mind having separate workflows/scripts for each SSID). It doesn't look like there are any Automator actions for this so I tried recording my actions, but that's not working. The slightest twitch of the mouse throws off the running script and even if I totally let go of the mouse it's not getting the selections done correctly (for example, instead of opening the System Preferences pane, it keeps going to Mac OS X Software on the Apple Menu).
Can anyone help me out with this?
(Cross-posting in Automator and AppleScript forums)

Hi,
First of all, to open system preferences, try using the "Launch Application" function in automator and choose System Preferences. This should solve the mouse problem because it doesn't rely on mouse clicks.
Then, for all other functions where you need to record mouse clicks, try using a separate recording for each mouse click.
Make sure you set the execution speed for each recording to maximum before saving as applications, otherwise they will take forever to run and you'll have more chance of small mouse movements disturbing the script between clicks.
I set up scripts in this way to do the same thing you are talking about, except mine where for file sharing with different individuals on my network. So far I haven't had any problems.
