Wireless Networking - Bridge between network connections

07-14-2006, 07:07 PM

Trying to figure out how t bridge a EVDO card to an ethernet connection:
Windows XP Pro SP2 system with simple file sharing disabled.

Using Verizon Sierra PC5220 EVDO PCMCIA card connected to the Verizon National Broadband network.

On the same PC with the PC5220 EVDO card is a Senao NOC-3220 802.11b/g access point configured as an access point and connected via wired Ethernet.

The wired LAN connection and the broadband connection cannot be bridged, because the EVDO card appears to XP as a dialup modem.

The broadband EVDO connection is configured in the Advanced properties to "allow other network users to connect through this computers Internet connection", "establish dialup connection whenever a computer on my network attempts to access the Internet", and "Allow other network users to control or disable the shared Internet connection". All 14 services in the advanced settings are selected.

When I connect to the access point with another wireless PC, I cannot gain access to the broadband connect and Internet. Why?

Regards,

Sean

George,

Thanks for the quick response. My engineer tells me that it has put us in
the right direction, but it is still not working. If there are any other
tricks, please let us know.

Regards,

Sean
