I currently am connected to the internet with a wireless
network card and it works pretty good. However, i also
have a lan network card that i hook up to another
computer through a sepparte router for gaming. I was
wondering if it is possible for for the other computer to
hook up to mine and use my internet connection and for me
to leave both Connections enabled at once. Currently if i
have both connections enabled i can not connect to the
internet. So i have to disable the Lan connection. Also,
we both have windows Xp professional.
Thanks alot,
Jason
 
I am researching the same problem. I want to use wireless to connect several computers, but one also has a wired connection to a print server and other computer. I tried a Bridge, but it did not allow interconnection. I can not find any setting that would force the wireless net to be used for the internet. It seams like something you should be able to do.
 
Hey Jason,

You can setup internet connection sharing simply through a wizard interface,
otherwise you have to understand stuff like routing and gateways.

Go to

start/all programs/accessories/communications/Network Setup Wizard

Choose internet connection

And it'll guide you through the process.
