Last week I had good timepass playing around with a NetGear wireless router, My desktop, my BSNL EVDO device and my official laptop… The project was wireless networking to share my BSNL evdo internet connection.
I googled around for 2 days for some good material on how to network computers to share dialup internet connection. You can find enough material on networking but this requirement was unique so I had a tough time finding the right information. Finally I found one at

I used a wireless router from NetGear. Not sure its the one same as the one at

The explanation above somehow didnt completely solve my issues but did upto 95%. Only difference being I had to use a static IP 192.168.1.2 on my laptop which being a client machine on which I was using the internet connection originally at my desktop PC (192.168.1.1). The wireless router was given a static IP 192.168.1.250 . So an all static IP network. My desktop PC failed to assign IP dynamically at times to the laptop, thats why I had to go with a static IP on the laptop.
The configuration on the router is similar to what is explained at http://www.notebookforums.com/thread113829.html. If you are using NetGear and need assistance on similar configuration, do shout here !! I will be happy to help you out !!
