Anyone with a Compaq CP-2W router and dialup?

[videobruce]

The setup is this:

Tower (host/Gateway) with dialup ISP and wired NIC, ICS enabled.

Laptop (client) with wireless NIC


Both running 2k Pro.
Both can see each other.
Host can connect to internet, BUT only by manually starting the dialer first (one problem).
Client can't see that internet connection even after it is started manually 2nd problem).
IP addresses set to auto.
Pope blessed system.........

Problem seems to be in the router setup and possible DHCP settings.

Any input?


Here is the link for the router:

What no Comtrash fans out there??
Others have said that I need to disable DHCP and when I did I get this deal:

This menu item:
Access Point Setup;
that switches it from a-
Internet Router+Wireless Access Point or a-
Access Point Only (disable DHCP Server)
I switched to the 2nd entry and it changed the Internet Connection Method screen from PPPoE to Static IP.
I tried entering in the IP of the host (192.168.1.11) as the "Internet IP", "Default Gateway" and the "DNS Server", but it would let me stating it had a "Invalid DNS Server address". I also tried 192.168.1.1 as the DNS Server address, but that didn't work either.

Then I set the DNS address to 0.0.0.0 and it complainted that the "IP address can't be the local host address or multicast address".
The default setting of the IP address is 127.0.0.1 and default gateway is 127.0.0.2

If I change the IP address of the wired NIC to 127.0.0.1 would that work?

All of these options and it can't do a (what I consider) a simple dialup connection!

BTW, $$ is a issue also since that is why he dropped Cable.............
