Hey guys,
At work, I'm connected to the internet via Wired LAN so I want to share that with my other devices. I've set up the ad hoc network and got it running, but when I get to ICS, I encounter a bit of a problem.
When setting my ICS to enabled, and letting my new ad hoc network share, I get a warning saying that it resets my default gateway to the usual linksys default gateway, but my wired LAN uses a different default gateway. I decided to stop there for a while for fear of borking something.
My question is if I had gone through with it, would I have lost my connection to the internet, thus making the whole thing an exercise in futility or would it have reset my ad hoc's gateway to the usual linksys default gateway, thus allowing me to share my internet? If it was the former, is there any way I can bypass this little hurdle?
