[Ryedale] Getting three machines online at the same time using one mobile broadband dongle.

[Martin Wheldon]

Hi Alex,

Bit of line art for you Alex.

Internet----win7---Wifi Router----All other machines

Setup your win7 machine with Internet sharing and wifi. Configure your
Wifi router as a dhcp server giving out ip addresses and default
gateway( Win7 machines IP address,
DNS servers should be your ISP's for all machines).
All your machines use wifi.

Hope that makes sense.

Best Regards

Martin
