Hello all,

Long story short, I moved to a new apartment and have to wait a month or even more to get my DSL internet, so I temporarily got myself a USB 3G device to have some access to the internet till I get my DSL line.

I live in Bahrain so I don't think you guys will know much about the ISPs over here. The USB acts as 3G modem for a single PC that's connected to it, what I want is to share that internet using my D-Link DIR-655 router so I'd be able to connect my iPhone and PS3 as well.

Any ideas to get that setup working as smoothly as possible would be great. DIR-655's default gateway is 192.168.0.1, and the auto DHCP range IIRC is 192.168.0.100 to 192.168.0.199
 
Use Internet connection sharing on the laptop. Or use something like Connectify.
 
Thanks for replying, but I'm using my desktop PC which is connected via Ethernet and doesn't have wireless.
 
connect the usb device to the desktop.

go to the properties of the usb device

enable sharing

connect the you desktops nic to the wan port on your router

make sure your router is set to dhcp

that should work. if it doesnt, you might have to give your nic a static ip.
