Gateway Fx Audio Driver
I currently have a broadband modem USB. I bought a wireless router that has Ethernet connections. Currently, the modem is connected to my downstairs computer that is running Windows 98, so will not bridge the connections up my computer (XP). I can not upgrade to XP because the risk of a family member usually 'he.
Can I connect a broadband USB modem to my wireless router using a complicated selection of cable adapters or Ethernet, USB (I do not I find a USB to Ethernet). If this is not possible if I connect the USB modem on my XP computer, can bridge the connections to my computer Win 98 XP using the computer as the host?
I think yours is to Ethernet port on your time, but not USB to Ethernet. I do not see any reason you should not be able to connect your USB modem to your XP computer and use it as a bridge to the computer 98.
Of course, it would be better to have an all-in-one unit, but you can accomplish your goal with this equipment. You can not use cable adapters to convert the USB modem to Ethernet. USB needs drivers to work, and the connections Ethernet does not provide these drivers for the device. you can also connect the modem to the XP machine and bridge connections, yes. but you can leave the system the way what is and configure it to run smoothly like this:
If I had the hardwear in front of me, it would be easier to provide details … probly but I can give you an idea of what to do. There are only 2 steps here:
1. configure an internet gateway.
2. configure the router.
And the rest is easy.
1. Set the machine from the Internet to share an Internet connection (you can use the wizard, if you want, or simply allow the Internet Connection Sharing), which will turn 98 on an internet gateway. gateway that requires an IP address assigned, however. In essence, the machine will be the 98 Internet server, so the IP of the machine 98 is the gateway IP. Assign an address, eg 192.168.1.1 for the machine 98. to 192.168 "is important, and the ropes last time you can stretch, but for the sake of convenience to keep it small. * HINT * the mask is always 255.255.255.0. Sure it takes to the host machine.
2. After an internet gateway, connect the wireless router, and console (or IP) for definitions, usually entering the Internet Explorer and type 192.168.0.1 in the address bar, and look for a slot to Internet Gateway. Enter the address assigned in step 1. thats for the router. (there may be other settings required for your specific network, and if there are, do not forget to configure.)
Finally some housekeeping. sure workgroup for both machines is identical. I usually use MSHOME as workgroup. Also make sure that the XP machine, your IP address is set to "Automatically Obtain IP address", also known as DHCP.
