Neosat/Neusat iPro 2000 IKS via (cellular connection)

For those of you who don't have access to broadband, there is a solution for you.


What you will need

1. laptop

2. pcmcia edge card (consult your cellular provider)

3. Windows XP

4. cross over cable or hub.



First set up your laptop so you can browse the Internet using the edge connection. Next configure the edge connection to be shared via windows Internet connection sharing. Make sure you select the correct connection to share.
Next connect your laptop via it's LAN port to a hub with a straight Thur cable or directly to the ipro using a cross over Ethernet cable.

Windows should assign the ipro an ip or you can manually configure the ip. Generally windows sharing uses 192.168.0.1 as the ip of the dhcp so you can put 192.168.0.2 for the ipro. sub-mask 255.255.255.0, gateway place the ip of your edge connection and dns place the dns ips of your edge connection (you can easily see this by clicking on the task bar icon and looking under the support tab and then under details).

This may sound a bit complicated, but if you have cellular service/reception and your provider has a card for a laptop (see sony ericsson GC-89)

You can make the ipro run IKS virtually anywhere.
