Hi guys. I just got the CellC HSPA modem deal, R3000 once off for 5gb p.monthx 12 months.
The only condition was that I share it with my little sister.
This is where my problem comes in. How do I get the Internet connection on the network?
I have searched the forum, but didn't find any results.
Both PC's are running windows 7, and are connected by a Telkom Mega 105WR router (without internet access.)
If you need more info please ask.
Thanx in advance!

Re: Getting a CellC HSPA USB Modem on a Network
Hi there, welcome to the forum!
You're probably going to want Internet Connection Sharing. Here's a guide on setting it up (it's written for Windows Vista, don't know how different it will be in Windows 7). Alternatively, you do get routers that support 3G, but those were pretty pricey last time I checked...

Just right click on the adapter in network settings -> properties -> share this connection.J4p13 wrote:Hi guys. I just got the CellC HSPA modem deal, R3000 once off for 5gb p.monthx 12 months.

I've been having trouble sharing it through a router though. If I connect directly between my netbook and PC it works fine.

Re: Getting a CellC HSPA USB Modem on a Network
I finally managed to get the thing shared. A guy at a lan told me that it should work with a crossover cable, and a little figgeting with the IP addresses. The same way he connects his laptop to his XBox for internet. So I got the Cell C DNS settings, set the IP's and default gateway, and Ta DA! It works.
