On Board LAN Card - Question

jmercanti · 03-05-2008, 01:30 PM

Hi there,
I have a desktop computer that has a wireless card in it which connects to the router for internet access. My question is, I have a device that I would like to plug into the on board lan and have it use the computers wlan connection to access the internet. Is this possible? What would I need to do in order for this to work successfully?

I'd need the device to get an IP from the router(or computer), using the computer as a gateway to the internet, if that is possible.

Thanks you
Joe Mercanti

When I get back to the house and onto the computer that I need this to work on I will check it out. Thanks very much!
