Sharing wireless network's Internet connection over CO cable

ConstantlyLearning

Hi.

Here's the scenario.

There is a wireless network in my house, DSL modem connected to a wireless router which is connected to a PC.

There are 2 other PC's in my bedroom, one of which is connected to the wireless network(CompA) and one which is not(CompB). These 2 PC's are connected using a crossover cable.

So, the PC in my room which is on the wireless network has Internet access. I want the other PC to have internet access as well.

The wireless network uses the IP addresses 192.168.2.x 255.255.255.0 (Dynamically assigned)

The 2 PC's in my room have statically assigned IP addresses of 192.168.0.1(wireless) & 192.168.0.2(non-wireless).

I think what needs to happen is to get the wireless interface on CompA to communicate with it's Ethernet interface which can already communicate with CompB.....

Cheers for any help.

I've done a bunch of web searching. ICS won't work.

EDIT: All PC's run XP.

Bridging is what you want to do.

Ok guys, this looks good but there appears to be another problem.

I selected the Ethernet connection and the wireless and tried to bridge them but windows explorer just crashed.

This happened multiple times earlier when I tried to set up ICS.

It's a new PC, could this be a problem witht he build?

Cheers.

EDIT: Tried to bridge again and got this error message.

Maybe something here will help: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/309640

Try removing any trace of ICS. Be sure to reboot too.
