it seems that you are trying to share the 3G internet connection via a NIC on your Desktop, what Ip does laptop2 have?

 

[busymaverick]

Automatically set
neither laptop one nor laptop two are able to connect to the internet

 

[Emerald]

can you connect if the laptop is directly connected to the desktop?

 

[busymaverick]

i was able to connect upto a little while ago..
before connecting the router to my desktop i was using a crossover cable to share the internet from Desktop to laptop successfully. But after connecting the router the crossover cable internet sharing is not working anymore..
my LAN adapter on Windows is showing Unidentified network(No valid IP). and on laptop(Ubuntu) i am not getting an internet connection.
Previously i used to get the connection on Ubuntu

 

[busymaverick]

some time the "internet access" on unidentified network changes to no network access

 

[busymaverick]

i can ping the ip of the LAN on Desktop(192.168.1.2) from Laptop(Ubuntu)
Laptop 1 has windows on it..
checking internet on that
will update

 

[busymaverick]

No internet connection on any of the machines other that the Desktop on which the 3g modem is connected

you need to get the ICS on the Desktop working again before connecting the router as an AP.

once the ICS is working you should be able to get the IP info needed from the laptop to setup the router as an AP

make sure the DHCP is disabled on the router before you connect it to the desktop or it might disable the ICS

 

[busymaverick]

ICS was enabled and i was accessing internet on my other computers through LAN.
after experimenting with the router somehow i am unable to do that even.
the above pic is my current ICS config

 

[Emerald]

did you assign a static ip to the desktop?

I expected the IP of the LAN to end in .1

 

[busymaverick]

after enabling ICS i had set all the ip addresses to be set automatically

 

[busymaverick]

but setting it to obtain automatically give me no internet connection in the LAN(No Internet Access)

 

[busymaverick]

setting Default gateway : 192.168.1.1
IP : 192.168.1.2
subnet : 255.255.255.0
give me

 

[Emerald]

can you set the LAN IP to 192.168.1.1

 

[busymaverick]

my netgear's default gateway is 192.168.0.1

 

[Emerald]

does your Desktop connect to the router's WAN port?

 

[busymaverick]

router has 4 ports and one ADSL port
Idk about the WAN port

 

[busymaverick]

netgear DGN1000

 

[Emerald]

what is the LAN IP of the router?

if the desktop's IP is 192.168.1.xxx, the router should have 192.168.1.253 and DHCP disabled

 

[busymaverick]

desktop's LAN ip is 192.168.0.2
router IP is 192.168.0.1
when i type 192.168.0.1 in the address bar i get to the router's setting page

 

[busymaverick]

now i have connected Desktop and Laptop2 using the router..
Desktop->Router->Laptop2(Windows7)
Desktop and laptop have static ip address.
i am able to access sharing of the flies from both the machines

 

[Emerald]

set the router to 192.168.0.253

 

[busymaverick]

how can i set the router's IP address?

 

[busymaverick]

ok SET
