Problems with setting up Internet Connection Sharing. How to solve it?

Question

I had enabled bridge mode in my router (with built-in ADSL modem). On my computer, I had set one of the broadband connection to be shared. I can log on to the internet by using my computer without any problem and can surf the websites, download files and more. But, the other computers which are connected to the same router cannot access the internet. Why? How to solve this problem?

Please provide the detailed answer.

My computer only have one PCI network card. The onboard network card had been damaged.

I only have one router, the one with built-in ADSL modem.

Answer 1

Well, IF you have a ROUTER and not just a modem, you don't need ICS! With a ROUTER you simply connect the additional machines to the router and they work without going through any other machines. If indeed the device you have has routing ability but only has one outlet for the lan you can add a switch behind it to add more machines - take it OUT of bridge mode and let it route! What is the Model and Manufacturer of that device? We can help you sort this out but need to know what you have.

Now if your "router" is a MODEM then you either need ICS with TWO network cards in your computer for others to use or you need a ROUTER.

So if you need ICS you have to use TWO network cards, you can't share over the card used for your internet connection.
If you only have one working card, you can always add another card for sharing. (Or get a router.)
