Hi KenA,
I couldn’t connect to a local network from a second PC. I got the internal ip address and even changed it to a static ip address by changing the last two numbers through instructions that I got from the internet but still didn’t work.
I tried to follow xisle35’s guide but when I open control panel and internet connection, I couldn’t find “properties, sharing, services,” that xisle35 was talking about, I got lost in it. I’m using windows XP 2007. When I open control panel and Network Connections, I see “WAN-1 on…(wireless)” , “….Connection”, and “Local Area Connection”. When I right click on any of them and go to properties, it gives me a different window, “General/Advance”. When I click Settings in Advance it opens another window, “General/Exception/Advance”. It was not exactly how xisle35 puts it.
I don’t know whether the problem now is to open up the router firewall and re-direct the port, which I can’t get my head around it, or something else is not right.
I’ve read other posts in the forum and have spent hours trying to follow the instructions but for some reason there’s something that I’m not doing right and yet can’t put my finger on it.
Endtime.
