WiFi sharing through Wired Lan

Exodusfyre · 09-01-2006, 12:59 AM

I can't quite figure this one out, My nieghbors have agreed to share there comcast with us through a wireless connection, but we have 3 computers. So computer #1 has a wireless card and a 10/100 NIC installed, then the wired connection goes to the router. from the router it goes to the other computers. So What I am trying to do is share the wireless connection then have the other computers in the house connect to the internet through my PC which is connected wirelessly to the nieghbors. Any ideas? What I have been trying is not working only I can get the internet. But not PC 1 and 2. And for some reason I can't see them on the network, but if I set the ips to be the same there is a conflick which tells me I should be able to see them, all of our firewalls are disabled aswell.

Configure, not disable, firewalls immediately. You are at very serious risk.
