Help with wireless networking

[SLO247]

I'd like to know If I can setup a wireless network. I have a D-Link ADSL wireless router. At my old house I used this to have internet wirelessly around my house. Since then I have moved, and I have a USB dongle with Vodafone, giving me wireless internet, as I cannot get broadband here (Australia has an ancient Broadband network).

I'd just like to know if theres a way to setup my router, to provide internet off the dongle wirelessly to my house?

Maybe.

You'll need to setup the machine with the vodaphone stick to use ICS and become a router. Have the default route pointing to the vodaphone stick, and give a local static IP to a network card on the computer. 192.168.1.1 for example. then connect the router's WAN/uplink port to this network card.

You may need a crossover cable for the router to be connected to the computer by the uplink port.

Once thats done set the router's WAN ip to static 192.168.1.2. At this point test if your computer can ping the router. Try with a device to connect to the router and ping the ICS computer, and then the internet.

Its a bit of a stretch this one, good luck

no there isnt.

using windows ICS will be complicated, will not allow port forwards, and will not allow you to use your router (you'll have to use your PC for it, meaning no wireless, etc)

my advice: buy a proper 3G/roaming internet router. they do exist specifically for the purpose you need.
