Here's what I want to do:
Wire a WinXP pro computer to a network
Use an internet connection from a router on other WinXP pro computers connected wirelessly to the wired computer.
(the wired computer has a wireless card too)
Here's what I've tried on the wired computer:
Bridging the connections
Internet connection sharing on the wireless
Internet connection sharing on the wired
The computers all connect wirelessly in adhoc mode and they can share files and things like that. The computer wired to the network can access the internet, but none of the other computers can. Is what I'm trying to do possible? Am I trying it correctly?
btw, the reason for this is that all the computers are laptops and I'd like to move them from room to room by connecting a computer to the network port in the room.
