ANSWER

Hi,

I have broadband access to the internet through wireless access point on
computer A. I have insert into Computer A another network card and now I
want to share that internet connection to others computers over switch.
On the first network card I have next ip 192.168.0.2 and 255.255.255.0.
What parameter shoud I enter on the second network card and on the others
computers on the network (Default gateway and preferred DNS)

Thanks very much
 
By default, Windows will want to make the LAN interface (the one NOT
connected to the Internet) 192.168.0.1. I don't think it'll ven allow you to
enable ICS if the "Public" Interface is on that network. So:

1) Reconfigure your router and the NIC attached to it for ANY other network
than 192.168.0.0
2) Make sure you can browse on the Internet connected computer.
3) Enable ICS with all the defaults
4) Set your other computers to obtain IP address and DNS server
automatically.
5) Plug Private NIC and other computers into switch.
6) Re-boot all computers except the one running ICS.
7) Surf away.
