2 computer and a wireless router

Hi,
I have 2 computers (a desktop and a laptop) and a wireless router. The
desktop is connected to internet (through USB) and to the router (via
ethernet). The laptop has a WiFi connection to the router. The IPs and
operating systems are the following:
desktop: 192.168.0.1 (Win2000)
router: 192.168.0.2
laptop: 192.168.0.3 (WinXP)
The netmask is 255.255.255.0. I can ping from one computer to another and
from one computer to the router and can share folders between the two
computers, but cannot access Internet with the laptop. I have already
enabled on the desktop the option that allows the Internet connection to be
shared. If I ping some srever (like www.google.com) from the laptop, I get
an "unreachable destination host" error message. The router is an Asus
WL-500g.
Can anyone help me to configure this net?
Thank you all very much,
Marco

Normally you go from modem to router wan
then from router LAN ports to your desktop.
Can you hook your router wan port to the modem with an Ethernet cable ?

if not,   desktop Ethernet plugs into a LAN port on the router      and not
wan port

Since your router isn't doing the talking to the internet, you'll probably
need to set your laptop to use the other PC as the default gateway. By
default its probably set to the router.

Under network setup you could use the wizard and setup with that comp hooks
directly to internet and the others hook to it. That would set the network
connection address for you. Then you mite have to change you router to and
access point only.

Try this solution:

I Have a USB Broadband modem connected to my desktop and want to share my
internect connection. How do I do this?

You must run and internet sharing proxy server on your computer that is
connected to the USB modem.

Check out some of these programs:

1. Wingate- http://www.wingate.com

2. Winroute Firewall- http://www.deerfield.com/products/winroute-firewall/

3. WinProxy- http://www.winproxy.com/index.asp

4. PPPShar- http://www.pppindia.com/intl/pppshar/

5. CCProxy- http://www.youngzsoft.net/ccproxy/

6. EzProxy-

This solution works just fine!!! I noticed that none of the proxies you
suggested is for free, unless very strict limitations on the number of users
are set (the best one under this point of view is CCProxy, which allows 3
users). Do you know of any proxy server that is for free and allows a larger
amount of users?
Thanks,
Marco

The user limitations are unlikely to be a problem for home users (its the
number of computers really), but anyway Windows contains free proxying
software - read up on "Internet Connection Sharing" aka ICS.

Actually ICS will only work on an ethernet connection, not a USB connection.

Whatever makes you think that?
ICS will most certainly work in the OP's configuration where the
incoming connection is via a USB ADSL modem.

Whether it's the best design is another discussion...

Hope this helps

Your earlier post said:
"ICS will only work on an ethernet connection, not a USB connection"
Please do not make such authoritative-sounding statements when they
are simply not correct.

It works fine, alhough I wouldn't recommend it as a 'good' solution.

Kind regards

It works.  Never mind ICS for now, you can simply bridge between USB
and ethernet.

Using USB with ICS is also supported:
  http://www.usr-emea.com/education/gaming/usb-ics.asp?loc=czec
  http://www.experts-exchange.com/Networking/Q_20400118.html
Lots of other web piles that mention USB and ICS in the same breath.
However, I humbly suggest you abandon this USB/ICS abomination and
purchase an ethernet DSL modem, and ethernet router.  ICS sucks.

Actually it'll work on any sort of network connection. I used it
successfully on a dialup for quite a while.
