IP Conflict with Alltel wireless card and router
I bought a Alltel wireless card for my home system since I live in a
rural area without cable. My home network has 5 PC's and a Satellite
receiver with a 4 port D-Link wireless router.
When I connected the Alltel wireless USB card and setup ICS (Internet
Connection Sharing), it automatically assigned 192.168.0.1 to my PC's
other NIC. That conflicted with my wireless router so I changed the
router IP to 192.168.0.2.
All the PC's that connect by cable to my router ports can now see the
internet with no problems.
I have three wireless connections that are too far away to run copper
and when they connect via DHCP the router gives them 192.168.0.2 for
their default gateway. That makes them unable to see the ICS and the
internet.
I was able to manually add another route for the wireless PC's but the
satellite box is DHCP only and I cannot change what it receives from the
router. Every time it connects it gets a 192.168.0.2 gateway address
and cannot see the internet and so I cannot download movies or connect
for PPV events.
