Quantos if you have some time can we get back to it. Let me recap what I have. My desktop computer has the usb 175 modem and want to share with another computer. Now do I need to hook up the other computer with the cat5 cable to the connection on the computer with the modem without going through a router do I need to go throuor gh the router?...........two-dogs Okay, I've been trying to sort out how to explain this to you, so bear with me.

Connect the computers that DON'T have internet to your wrt310n.
Plug the desktop(the one with the um175) into the wrt310n's WAN/Internet connection.
Make sure that in Device Manager that the desktop with the um175 has two WORKING ethernet cards.
Then run the ICS(Internet Connection Sharing) WIZARD.

Let me know if part of this seems vague, or you have any troubles with ICS.

If it works flawlessly for you, please let us know, that way I can stop looking for solutions. Quantos I only have one working as you can see I have a ! mark in the other one. So you are saying that I need two connections on the computer with the internet?

[attachment deleted by admin]According to that I see a RealTek and the um175.

Plug the wrt310n into the RealTek. That's the one you should use for this.

The um175 is your second connection, that's the one that has WAN activity. Quantos we have lift off Ok here is what I did just as you said I ran the wizard but I don't think you told me to do it on both computers I did that and made sure that I CHANGED my network name to workgroups and I now have my internet with the other computers. I want to thank you for all your HELP Quantos lost some sleep but it was worth it.............two-dogs I didn't MENTION running the ICS Wizard on the other machine, because I knew that it would tell you to do just that.

I'm so glad that we got that running for you. Just think of your new found confidence with computers.

Any day now we'll all see you helping others here. That would be great I am not very good with networking let alone messing with other stuff. I know just enough to make me dangerous but none the less again sure am happy you stuck with me and got it up.........one ? how do I post a thanks in you profile...I want to let others know how helpful you were.........two-dogs Never mind I found the thanks box
