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
http://www.netgear.com/Products/RoutersandGateways/WirelessGRouters/WGR614.aspx
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 !!
Just an update.. There are other EVDOs like Reliance NetConnect EVDO and Tata Indicom Photon EVDO. These also can be configured the same way as explained above, or any such internet connection in general !

Yes, in this configuration, the desktop need to be on and logged into EVDO. Basically its its internet sharing here, but using the wifi router to connect to wireless devices such as laptops in network
Hi
I am in bangalore and my number is 9902226411. Would like to discuss with you more on how to connect my laptop which has EVDO connected to it to my mobile phone. I want to use the EVDO internet on my mobile.
Pls give advice.
@Mahesh,
If you are running Windows on your laptop, google for ‘ad hoc wireless networking’, where in you can configure your laptop to act as a wireless transmitter, sharing internet to your mobile.
I might not be able to talk to you personally, but post your queries here, we will try to resolve publically which can help others as well.
Thanks!
I like to connect EV-DO connection two more then 2 computer and i have linksys routers WRT54G so how can i connect to all three computer
@Rohit Patel,
The method will be the same, one of the LAN ports will be connected to the computer on which EVDO is plugged in and remaining computers on the other LAN ports.
