Question by Bryan c: Can I use my laptop to distribute my broadband to a voip router through the ethernet port?
I have recently added a voip connection to my broadband connection. Here’s the deal. I have a wireless router (neighbors) that i have access to but cant change settings. I can connect my laptop to it using the wireless option. I have a router that connects to the phone. Can I connect the router to the laptop and use the internet connection I am currently using and use same ip? Do I have to create a vpn? Its a motorola vt2142 (vonage router). Is there any way to do this? I require the phone for my work and would appreciate if someone could help me out with this!

Answer by WhiteGirl L♥ver
thats a REALLY tough question and i doubt youll get many responses given how many variables are involved.. lets see if any of the top contributors help you out…. probably not though..

i think this is what you’d have to do… you’d have to install ICS (internet connection sharing) on your computer. then you’d have to get ANOTHER computer and connect it to yours and make sure ICS is working properly. IF you can get that to work, then i would attach the router and hope it uses the laptop’s internet to get your phone service.

setting up ICS will be moderately difficult. ensuring it works by getting a second computer to hook up to your first (and youll need a crossover cable unless you have something to do a hardware crossover with) and testing the ICS will be very difficult. and setting up the router IF you got ICS to work to get internet will be quite trying, and then finally hoping that phone works will be an act of god, nearly.

good luck!

Question by Leprechaun Hunter: How do I get internet connection through a peer to peer connection?
I have two computers (a desktop and a notebook) running Windows 7. The notebook has access to the internet through wlan, the desktop does not have wi-fi capability. I have connected the two using a cross-over ethernet cable. Is it possible to get internet connection in this setup?

Best answer:

Answer by Adrian
Technically, yes. You have to look into “ICS”, Internet Connection Sharing. There should be many help articles on the internet for this. The key is you need two network adapters on the machine that gets the internet, and it sounds like you do with the laptop (wireless and has a wired port). It is on the laptop that you configure ICS

Question by hayden.sheather: How do you get a Dial-up connection working through a P2P network?
I know a fare bit about computers, and I managed to get my Dial-up internet (we moved and had to downgrade) working through some form of wireless LAN, and I also believe it work on the LAN cable as well… Although the next day when I try to connect I was given a limited or no connection notification. I’ve tried changing it, deleting the network at creating it again, ticked the “using ICS” bubble on the wireless, LAN and Dial up connection… I’ve gotten a good LAN connection able to share information, play games etc… And the closest i’ve got so far is an error bubble notifying me of an IP address conflict (I think the IP addresses are the same or something)… Do I have to change my Internet protocol TCP/IP address or will this just cause more trouble? And what should I change it to?

Sorry about the question being so confusing i’ve just tried to include as much as possible
