Problem for Linksys WRT160N Wireless Router

Unfortunately I live in an area with no DSL/Cable

Unfortunately I live in an area with no DSL/Cable connection. So I am setting up my network via ICS with my main computer using a VodaFone 3G USB cellular modem.
I need my computers and Xboxs to stop looking at 192.168.1.1 (my router) for the Internet access (Gateway) and look at my main computer IP. Any idea how to get my router to route my computers to the ICS Computer instead of the broadband port on the router that is NOT connected to anything?

If you're using ICS the computer needs to have an ip of 192.168.1.1. Change the IP of the router to 192.168.1.2. You then need to tell the router that it's gateway is 192.168.1.1 and strictly speaking it should be set into "bridge" mode. It's a lot of hassle and slow and it's easier to get a Solwise 3g router which costs about £60. It will then maintain the internet connection and all the traffic flows in the right direction.
