Sharing an ISDN internet connection

[Romany777]

I have an ISDN Modem (Eicon Diva T/A) and a wireless network (DLink). Running XP.

When I bought the DLink hardware they specifically told me that I needed a broadband connection in order to share my internet connection. Of course, I've been trying to prove them wrong ever since.

I have tried setting up through the various wizards and although I've mastered the wireless network - I still can't get to the internet connection from any of the other computers on the network.

Am I beating my head against the wall for nothing? Or is there some way to make this work?

I'm not against buying a different modem (this one connects to the PC through a serial port but there's a LAN version that uses Ethernet).

As an alternative - if we install a wireless internet connection through our cell phone company - is that going to interfere with the wireless network?

Thanks!

You *can* share any kind of connection. You could share a dialup, but it would suck.

Are you wanting to use ICS? There aren't many fans of ICS around here. Google has a few ideas.

I don't know much about ISDN modems but you would likely have better luck if you had an ethernet interface.

If your last question is referring to the extra trons "interfering" with your own, the answer is "not drastically." You shouldn't have to worry about it.
