Default Gateway on wireless card?

[dougsen]

I've got cable modem coming into my host machine and I'm using ICS and a wireless peer to peer network to share with the laptop. It kinda, sorta works, but not always.

My ethernet connection to the cable modem uses DHCP, but I can't get that to work with the wireless cards so I'm using static. Host machine is 192.168.0.1 (255.255.255.0).

Question is - what should the default gateway be for this wireless card (actually USB device) on the host machine? The IP address of the nic that connects to the cable modem? The same default gateway as the nic? Something totally different?

And the same for the DNS server on the wireless card, should it be the same DNS ip as the nic?

Much thanks.

If you enable ICS on the NIC going to the modem. And you set the wireless NICs to automatically get an IP address and DNS addresses then it should work.

Or you can set them manually. 192.168.0.1. for the wireless connector in the host. 192.168.0.2 for the wireless connector in the client and gateway 192.168.0.1 and same for DNS address.

If you get DNS errors, check the "status" page in your router setup and enter the same DNS #s you see there. If your card's TCP/IP properties setup only allows one entry, use the first one in the DNS list from the router.
