Networking Equation
I'm trying to connect a desktop to an internet connection my neighbor has been nice enough to let me ride on wirelessly in my new apt.
The parts of this algerbra equation are as follows:
- One Hp Nx7010 with a wired 10/100 NIC and an intel Wireless A/B/G card w/ Win XP Pro
- 1 NetGear MR814n router
- 2 lengths of Cat5 (not cross-over)
- 1 Win2k Pro Desktop with a Netgear 10/100 NIC
So the goal is to bridge the wireless connection the laptop is receiving to the desktop somehow. I tried creating a bridge in the control panel on the laptop and lost the wireless connection. The setup I tried was laptop nic to lan port 1 of the router, and the desktop on Lan port 2.
Plugging in the laptop to the router wan port will not work without crossover cable as I understand it.
Using ICS on the wireless connection doesn't work since the neighbors router occupies the needed Ip Address.
What solutions would you suggest TFP'ers? I'm getting acheing eyes googling answers all afternoon.
