Hello to everyone I normally don’t post as I’m a newbie to the satellite world and have luckily managed to have my questions answered by reading other threads, however I’m struggling to come to grips with something I’m trying to do.
My fathers has no internet connection so the Spiderbox is just a pretty FTA if I take it to his however I’ve been told it can work with a 3G USB dongle connected to my laptop.
Try as I might I have been unsuccessful in connecting to the Internet using this method. Here’s a list of the equipment I’m using: -
Spiderbox 5000SD patched with latest firmware
Laptop running Windows7
Crossover Ethernet cable
Unlocked Huawei E160 3G USB dongle
O2 sim card
The dongle will connect to the Internet no problem my problem is getting the LAN port my Spiderbox is connected to, to access the Internet via my dongle. I’ve tried many configurations of IP address, Gateway address etc none seem to work.
Can anyone give me a simple step-by-step guide to setting this up on Windows7 please?
