OK! I have a router that feeds a local wired & wireless network with several
PCs including one running XP which is on the wireless side. I want to add a
second NIC to the XP machine to allow some non-wireless capable devices to
be on the local network and access the web through the XP machine and
router. Do I setup new NIC with its own fixed IP address and set fixed IP
addresses on the other devices plugged into it OR can I allow the devices to
get dynamic IP addresses from the router via the XP machine? Would that make
the XP machine the gateway address for the devices? Do I have XP bridge the
networks?
Can someone explain????
Thanks
