Hi, I have a Macbook on which I use 3 USB 3G dongle to get access to the internet. I also now have a Time Capsule which is connected wirelessly to the Macbook. I want to use internet sharing so that I can use other wireless devices such as an iPhone and another Windows laptop to gain access to the internet. If I make the Airport connection first in the network connections list, Safari will not browse the internet. If I make the 3G dongle the first network connection I can get internet access and use internet sharing to map the dongle to the airport connection. However using my iphone to connect wirelessly results in the wireless network being recognized but no internet access. Anyone know what is going wrong ?

I also have a Belkin Wireless USB hub which works fine connected to the Time capsule providing the Time capsule is ordered first in network connections, by making the 3G dongle first, the Belkin hub is no longer regcognized. This is a problem I can live with, I rather get the USB dongle sharing it's network connection across the wireless network than have the Belkin but it would be a bonus if I could have both working.

Thanks.
