I have a cyber cafe but I was robbed of my Wireless router recently. I want to be able to share Internet connection wirelessly from the PC I use as server to wiressless enabled computers. I got a Linksys router (Linksys WRT542G-2) which I connected to a USB ethernet Adapter. I have had it setup before but the same setting I used on the old one that got missing isn't working on the new one I just bought. I was advised to format my Server PC which I did format with Windows XP, but the issue persists and I'm short of ideas right now, hence bringing it forth to the experts on-board to help out.
This is my cafe setup:
Internet from Modem --> Switch --> All client computers and PC used as server. No issue with LAN connections.
Adapter1(LAN)
- IP address: 192.168.8.200 (Static IP required by the cafe client I use)
- Subnet: 255.255.255.0
- Default gateway and DNS1: 192.168.8.1
- Internet connection shared
Adapter2 (for Wireless Hotspot)
- IP address: 192.168.0.1
- Subnet: 255.255.255.0
- Default gateway and DNS are left blanked
Router Settings
- Connection Type: Automatic, DHCP
- Router IP changed to: 192.168.0.2
- Subnet: 255.255.255.0
- Security: None
- SSID: Set
With the setup above, systems can connect to the Router but no Internet connection. I disabled firewall and blocked my antivirus but no headway.
What am I doing wrong?
