I have an extra DGN2200 Linksys DSL router. I powered it up but did not connect it to DSL - I just ignored setting it up. Both my W7 laptops connected to the router wirelessly just fine, as did my printer. So I was able to move files between computers and print wirelessly. (I have VZ access manager on both laptops, but it was not running. Don't know if that is even relevant.) On laptop #2 - in network connections, it lists: "DGN2200(gateway)" and "internet gateway device" as the 2 available Network Infrastructure Devices. I have tried to enable "internet gateway device" on laptop 2, both with and without the cellphone connected via VZ Access Manager to the internet on computer #1, and it always fails. Computer 2 cannot see the internet although I enabled computer #1 to allow other computers on my network to connect to the internet via this computer.
Then I read in the link previously suggested that disabling DHCP on my router is what I should try next. I did that, and when I tried to enable "internet gateway device" (the only network connection now visible), it enabled and allowed both computers to access the net via the cellphone and share files. However, my printer can no longer connect to the wireless network. It says "wrong password". This setup is ALMOST what I want, although I am not sure about having a secure network now. I haven't tried hardwiring the printer to the router yet. If it would work, that would probably be an OK solution. I don't understand what disabling DHCP does. Or maybe using a crossover cable to enable internet connection sharing? But could I access the printer then?
I had to manually reset the router to get back to where I started, i.e., sharing both computers and printer on one wireless network.
Any more suggestions?

I have used a red crossover cable to tie the two laptops together when we have one fee based wireless account/password (like $$ Tengonet), and just log on through one laptop. But I have been unable to tie the two laptops together in similar fashion to simultaneously access the internet through my cellphone. Worse, I was unable to tie the 2 together at all with a crossover cable once one computer was upgraded to Windows 7. Maybe that was just that I hadn't figured out how to do it. But now we have 2 Windows 7 laptops, so that's a newer challenge. Also, we now have a wireless printer as well. They all tie together at home on my DSL router just fine. But how to do it when I don't have a DSL line to connect to the internet?

I can connect one laptop to the net through my Casio cellphone, but I don't know how to make the other cellphone and the new printer/fax access the net through the laptop connected to the cell phone. I am not looking to upgrade my Verizon service (and lose access to the Americas' Choice plan.) Can anyone offer some advice on how to do this?
