Share pc's internet to wifi router

[alin180493]

Hey guys,

Can I share my wired internet connection that my PC has, with a router (dlink dir 635) using labview ?

I want to connect my router to my PC without using the integrated Ethernet card of the PC and share the PC's connection to the internet.

How can I do that ?

Alin I.

It's not clear what you mean - can you draw a network diagram showing how you want things connected?

In any case...networking sharing / bridging is something that is done by the OS, and not with LabVIEW. You could write a LabVIEW application that calls into the OS to configure it but I don't understand what you're actually trying to use LabVIEW for? LabVIEW can listen on specific TCP/UDP ports and forward the data but I don't see why you'd do this in LabVIEW when it's a simple setting on a router or making some changes to your network configuration.

This has nothing to do with LabVIEW. The question also does not make any sense.

Is the internet connection of the PC viat the router? Is it a NAT router or do you have multiple public addresses? If you don't want to use the ethernet card of the PC, how else do you want to connect it to the network? Do you have wireless? What is the purpose of the router at all? What are the other devices that should share the conenction?

Please draw a diagram that contains:

• the public internet (cable modem, DSL modem, etc.)
• the PC ethernet port
• The router LAN ports and WAN port
• The other devices that share the network connecton (wired, wireless)
• draw wires how everything should be connected
