Please log in for more thread options using ICS from the PCI broadband card to the ethernet port. I then used a router as an A/P only. The laptop is underpowered and performance was lousy. I am wondering if I can use bridging to pass the broadband signal directly to the ethernet and then use the router as a true router? I tried it once quickly and it appeared to not work. Anyone have knowlege of such bridging? Thanks, Dave | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

What signal is this? Where is it coming from? From a wired connection or wireless? The term "broadband" usually means WIRED, not wireless. > directly to the ethernet and then use the router as a true router? I

It requires setting up a specific IP address on the machine doing the sharing. This is fine if you're just sharing one connection, but with multiples it gets to be an adventure. What connection is being used to get to the internet? | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

The broadband connection is from Telcel via a PCI broadband wireless card. I just want to pass this connection seamlessly thru the laptop to the broadband ethernet port of a router. That's the question. I don't have a remotely similar lashup here at home to experiment with. I'll be going bach to Mexico in a few months and would like to have a plan for better sharing.
