The server machine is serving as the internet gateway using ICS.

One other question is will I have to connect both server and client machine to the wireless router or just the server machine? According to the installation manual for the NetGear router it says:

'Connect any additional wired PCs to your router by inserting an Ethernet cable from a PC into
one of the three remaining LAN ports (of the router)'.


How will the ISC and the server machine be retained as the internet gateway in this regard?

Cheers,

Stanley
