I agree - it does look as though there are two separate devices doing the job. > The Telstra pre-paid 4G USB modem (ZTE WCDMA Technologies MSM) IP 192.168.0.1 > The EDUP business portable wireless partner (EP-2908) IP 192.168.2.1 > I’m confused with how your Network is actually setup. We have an ethernet hub (Cisco Linksys SE2800) with CAT5 to four desktop machines and into the EDUP (EP-2908), which is plugged into a power source. The Telstra modem is plugged into USB on my machine, and I have internet and file sharing over ethernet turned on. We have always used the ethernet connection for file and internet sharing - the EDUP is just there as a courtesy for clients/friends who have portable devices and want to use the net or exchange files with us; we normally wouldn't have wifi turned on for any of our machines. When it all worked I didn't take any notice of the router IP addresses on the various machines - it is only now that it has become a bit crucial. I've just done what I should have done earlier - started from scratch with nothing connected and slowly add connections. I've unplugged everything, then worked through from no modem/no sharing through to modem and sharing. It all works perfectly - Geoff can share internet and files. I HAVEN'T added the EDUP wifi device. We've shut down and rebooted, and it still works. But: I still have 192.168.0.1 as my router and DNS, and Geoff still has 192.168.2.1 as his router - it isn't coming from the EDUP device, which isn't plugged in; it is coming from me. So, we'll leave it like this for now, with no wifi, and see if it continues to work. We've had it working briefly before, only to have it fail the next time we rebooted. If it is still working in a few days time I'll re-introduce the EDUP and see if it causes a problem. Thanks for all your help and for getting me thinking - I need someone else to talk to about this stuff to see it all a bit clearer Cheers, K ------------------------ Kaye and Geoff k...@kgweb.org.au
