[MLB-WIRELESS] Using a MR314 to route a dialup connection?

[Hugh Campbell]

Putting filesharing options aside (ftp using NetPresenz to share the 
Mac suffices a lot of the time for me), I assume that the bottom line 
is that you want to be able to surf the web wirelessly from your Mac, 
via your dialup?

That seems doable, but the sort of issue you're really up against is 
how are IPs on your internal network (ie between the PC's ethernet 
port and the Netgear's router) allocated so that they can see each 
other?

I assume hardwiring both addresses would be the easiest way. Is the 
Win95 box connected to the WAN port of the Netgear? If so, you need 
to set the default route of the netgear to point to the PC's ethernet 
card IP.
Use the Internet Access Setup menu in the router to point directly to 
the IP you've assigned in WinRoute.

As ping's not built in to the MacOS, I'd recommend a copy of 
Interarchy Pro which contains a few different ping tools. Having a 
low level tool will save you a lot of grief.

In Windoze you can ping from the Start menu just by typing ping 
xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx from the Run.. prompt (but I guess you knew that...)

cheers,
Hugh
