Using Internet Connection Sharing For a Router???

Ok.. Please, nobody ask why.

Is it possible to use internet connection sharing to supply a router with an internet connection from my internet connected PC via a NIC card?

Re: Using Internet Connection Sharing For a Router???

yes it is











why?

you should be able to setup connection sharing and then set the router to use a specified ip address and it should connect... seems a rather strange way of doing it though. If you want to have a pc that is not behind the router, why not just put it in the DMZ??

Re: Using Internet Connection Sharing For a Router???

As the PC would be using ICS, I think you'd have to use the router just as a switch & not as a NAT router. Otherwise, you'd have the PC's ICS using NAT to share the connection out to the router, which would then itself be using NAT to share it again...

Should be doable though, I think.

I know you don't want us to ask but why

What you are attempting to do really defeats the purpose of having the router, besides, if the pc that you are going to setup ICS on is turned off, it will kill the entire network.

Re: Using Internet Connection Sharing For a Router???

Ive just signed up with the Vonage VOIP service and I HAVE to use the router top plug my phone into.

I disabled the DHCP server on the router which seems to have accomplished what I needed. The router is now an expensive switch - LOL
