Windows 7 - Sharing cable internet service

| | Sharing cable internet service My brother and I now live in the same condo building and both of us are light users of our Comcast cable internet service. I used 6 GB of an allowed 250 GB last month. I would like to share my brothers service and cancel my service w/comcast. He has a Linksys G router and I have Buffalo G router. I have programmed a Hawking wireless range extender to his service to boost the signal around my condo but I can pick up his signal directly to my PC via a USB wifi adapter(3 bars signal). I get the "No internet access" message when connecting to his wireless service. No problem if I hook to my wireless signal, I get internet access... To confuse the issue, when I first hooked to my brother's router it worked good but only for about 1 day and then the No Internet message. I have run the troubleshooting progy in win 7 to no avail. Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.  |

| | Hello 1stLink, Welcome to SevenForums!!! This may be a matter of how his router is set-up. Does he use MAC addresses to allow computers to connect? Also, what is security settings? Let us know, Ben |
