OKKKK, It seems everyone reply the same to me saying "connect the
tata indicom cable to one of the LAN port".......
I am having 2
laptops, and one STATIC IP from Tataindicom WiMax Guys. I need to share the connection between the 2 laptops. The internet is web based login. If i connect it direclty to my laptops Ethernet it works like charm, on the first visit of any web page I will b redirected to a login page.
Initially I had this working by configuring Static IP Option on
router with
MAC security enabled. Suddenly, on a weekend I stopped working. I dont know why u guys insist on WEP security, how does the bother the damn internet access????
Say If I am connecting to LAN port of the router, what is the IP address I have to provide to my laptop?? how do i configure it, DHCP from router?? range of IP??? hell lot of questions to get this small shit happen.....
Could anyone provide me step by step instructions on configuring it - 2 latops, one static IP, tataindicom Wimax connection, wireless WRT54G router. am tierd of this :wall:
omg, Prajwal I didnt see your reply before I post. One question though
Enter IP: 10.xx.xx.xx
Enter Gateway: 10.xx.x.xx (both should be gotten from your existing connection, else ask someone in your area who has the same connection. technically IP has to be in the same range and free.. any free ip within your area's range will do)
I think I have tried it, The Ip tata guys gave is 121.243.xx.xxx, I selected static on Router page(192.168.2.1), the Clients will get DHCP IP from router as 10.X.x.x series. It is not working - is my intial post(where it worked for a few days).
This is how technically you should configure, since it is not working I am seeking help from here.
I do not know for WiMax. but like you said.. if you're connecting to the LAN port of your router.. (not Internet), and since DHCP is enabled, you will not need to setup any IP address.. DHCP should take care of that..
And you are right about WEP.. it shouldn't matter what kind of security you have.. (at least I think so..)
Sorry i cannot be of more help..
