[. . . ] A Home Internet Network with Multiple IP Addresses (Network administrators with Static IPs can also follow these instructions. ) If you have two or more computers (laptops or desktops) and want to share files, printers, and Internet access using multiple IP addresses that you have purchased from your Internet Service Provider -or- you want to connect to an Ethernet network that uses Static IP Addresses, then follow the instructions on the next page. When you have completed your network, it should look similar to this: Please note that this type of installation requires that your ISP (Internet Service Provider) provides you a static IP address for each computer and the Access Point on your network. Please refer to the manual that came with your Access Point to determine its configuration. Install the 802. 11g Intellinet Wireless PCI Card into the computer(s) on your wireless network. When you have completed your network, it should look similar to this: To share an Internet connection with Internet Sharing software you will need to purchase Internet Sharing software or use the Internet Connection Sharing (ICS) utility provided with Windows XP, Windows 2000, Windows ME or Windows 98SE. Please follow your software documentation to properly configure the Internet sharing software after you install your wireless networking cards. If the Internet Sharing Software will be installed on the same computer into which you are installing this wireless network card, then follow these steps: 1. Check the Device Manager to confirm that your card is installed correctly. If required by the ICS software, set the static IP Address for the wireless card. Note: The IP Address for all the computers on the network must be in the same IP Address range, and the Subnet Mask must be the same for all the computers on the network. For example: If the first computer is assigned an IP Address of 192. 168. 0. 2 with a Subnet Mask of 255. 255. 255. 0, then the second computer can be assigned an IP Address of 192. 168. 0. x (where x is a number between 3 and 254) with a Subnet Mask of 255. 255. 255. 0, etc. 12 802. 11g Wireless PCI Card Installation This section shows you how to install the Utility if you are using the operating systems Windows 2000, ME, 98SE.
