Unique? wireless / wired question . [chimney] [intention]
Q: Ok, no DSL, and no cable in the area, do not ask “why do you have dsl? . because it is not possible. SOO . m on the question.
I “looking for a wireless WAP of some form in my basement connected to a computer that will be constantly online with dial-up networking set up. My intention is to do my puny connection throughout the home without wires running through walls, chimneys, outdoor, etc and able to a single PCs online when I get the feeling that to use them, or anyone else in the family needs to use them to share . In this way, the connection is always online and there is no need to disconnect a dial-up and down someone elses computer / top .
Ima total newb to wireless, then this probably is incomprehensible to me. I needed to connect a wired LAN (LAN party in the basement) to the specified wireless network via hard wire. From what Ive seen, it is only a WAP hardwired uplink port of any kind, all routers, which I try to completely avoid, such as sharing dialup gives himself famous xxx.xxx.0.1 ip, needed for the computer that is chosen up to act as a gateway.
I have 5 port switches and CAT5 all over the place to use, i just dont want to have to drill holes in the house, etc. I guess Im just looking for recommendations on a WAP and configuration.
help?
Best Answer: Your IP address is assigned by your ISP. So if someone is using your connection to visit 'bad' sites you could be held as the culprit. Secure your wireless connection with at the very minimum a WEP.

Oh yeah, I forgot about that one. I even had one that I gave to my parents. Pretty good router.

Re:Orinoco used to have a WAP with a modem built in that could be activated remotely and shared by the wireless clients. I believe it was the RG-1000. I used to have one, but I never used it for dial-up, just wireless.
Good Luck

Re:You can share an on-demand connection from the computer you want to be always-on pretty easily. Just make sure you have server version running on it, disable DHCP on the router, and enable either DHCP AND ICS on the box. Then you can set it to disconnect if there's so much idle time, and auto-dial on-demand.
EDIT
The point to that is all you really need is a WAP with a few wired ports and a wireless card in each box, nothing special.
Just wire the router to the dial-up box and it's go time. Be careful to not choose a POS router (namely Blitzz) as the crappy ones don't support DHCP passthrough (meaning, if it doesn't support it, then only the router gives out DHCP, so you can't run ICS.)

Re:wow.. 200$ for that router…. Could i just set a wireless router to act in client mode rather then running dhcp? I read somewhere that the newer ones do that, just need a recommendation if thats even possible.
