Internet Sharing Help

    Right,

    I've got a USB Wifi Dongle which I got working, FINALLY! The only problem is that you need to set it to internet sharing for it to work. My broadband needs internet sharing aswell so my question is:

    Can you set both of them to internet sharing at the same time so I can be on internet and DS at same time?

    Thanks,

    Timans

    Few Q's....

    The USB dongle, is it part of the DS or the the PC? (sorry haven't seen a DS on the web yet :eek: )

    I would say that it would be possible, provided both are going through the wireless router, rather than through your PC as like a "daisy chain" effect.

    If both of them use ICS then I would have thought it would be able to differentiate between the two? Have you tried to see what it does if you enable ICS between the two?:)

    First off, **** off GrumPy :P

    Second, Anti, When I go to Local Area Connection, the option to turn on internet sharing isn't there unless it's switched off on the wireless dongle.

    Thirdly, I don't have a wireless router.

    XPSP2? Is the Firewall and Internet Sharing service running? (Right click on My Computer, go to Manage, go to Services and Applications, go to Services, scroll down the list until you find the name).

    You could try setting up a incoming connection via Network Connections >> Create a new connection >> Incoming connnections and set it up that way. Alternatively if any software has been supplied with the DS then it mite be worth giving that a whirl as there may be additional settings needed / visit the nintendo website to check out any software needed :cool:
