Just as you said and done via usb flash drive but Instead of 192.168.0.1 of Lan ip address of desktop i used '192.168.1.2' (because if i change it net wont connect) .

As im using Dataone in PppoE mode so I Changed the value in internet Protocol (TCP/IP ) of LAN in Desktop and Wireless network setting in Laptop is that correct?


Also i Didnt get the first part btw where you change settings in Router. how and what value should i enter in mine D-Link glb 502t router.

Btw as i connected now shouldn't atleast the file sharing work now properly? is there anyway where i can properly check did i connected properly, some ping values etc?


both ur comp working on xp right?
file sharing to work make sure ur laptop.,desktop., and router three same ip range
192.168.1.* in your case
use ips from 192.168.1.3 instead of 192.168.1.2 is used for usb interface of dataone modem
and also check that work group name in both computers same,.u can check it in my computer > properties > computer name

Sharing An Internet connection Between A Desktop running on windows Xp and A laptop Running on Vista IN BRIGDE MODE
This type of setup allows you to individually dial the internet connection from either laptop and desktop and allows the other computer to share the internet connection when one computer connected to internet
So u can schedule the internet connection from either of two pcs
This guide useful when one cant control modem for rebooting using command promt as its connected to router

This guide illustrates how to share an internet connection between a Desktop running on Microsoft Windows XP and A Laptop Running on Microsoft Windows Vista Home Premuim
THIS GUIDE ALLOWS EITHER PC TO CONNECT TO INTERNET IN DIAL UP MODE USING RAS DAIL
IN BRIGDE MODE AND OTHER PC CAN SHARE INTERNET
THIS HELPS IN SHCEDULING THE INTERNET CONNECTION PARTICULARLY FOR DATAONE NIGHT UNLIMTED USERS…
I’m not expert at this level..so I’m sharing what ever I tried.. I don’t have proper knowledge on this subject to ensure that its fully fault proof and secure..correct me if I’m wrong
THIS GUDE MAY NOT BE USEFUL AND ATTRACTIVE FOR OTHERS
Components used are DATAONE UT-300R2U modem and Netgear WGR 614 v7
Desktop in this case wired (CONNECTED to netgear via Ehternet) and laptop via wireless
I assume that the modem is configured in brigde mode and both computers are configured to connect to internet using dialup username and password
Setup and/wiring
THIS is important..
netgear router has 4 ethernet ports
connect Ethernet cable from your modem (DATAONE UT-300R2U modem im my case) to one of 4 ethernet ports..say port 1
now connect any one of remaining 3 ports to your pc ethernet jack via supplied Ethernet cable
Now configure netgear router
Change the LAN IP OF netgear router (any router) to 192.168.0.5 or any ip other than 192.168.0.1 in range of 192.168.0.2 to 192.168.0.255





U can also change the ip address of modem in range of 192.168.0.2 to 192.168.0.255
also for accessing the modem
But its resetting to 192.168.1.1 when I reboot the modem don’t know the reason

one can also disable the DHCP SERVER OPTION IN MODEM AND ROUTER..BUT ITS MAY NOT BE NECESSARY ALWAYS AS WE CONFIGURE THE IP ADDRESS OF COMPTURES MANUALLY
Now Coming to Desktop
Setup Network Sharing Using NETWORK SHARING WIZARD
GO to control panel > and Launch Network setup wizard by clicking network setup wizard icon (in case of classic View)
GO to control panel > network and internet Connections and Launch Network setup wizard by clicking network setup wizard from “ pick a control panel icon”






Then press next ,next and








then select “this computer connects directly to internet.tho other computer on my network connect to internet through this computer ”..




then press next..,




next and give a name to ur computer




And don’t change the work group name..keept it as MSHOME
THE WORK NAME GROUP SHOULD BE SAME ON BOTH WHEN SETTING UP NETWORK FROM DESKTOP AND LAPTOP,THEN select printer and file sharing on







thanks......
