well..i have enabled internet sharing on adapter A on the first machine , plug in the provider cable to adapter A , plug in the cable from adapter B to wireless router. and started the D-link quick installation guide.
but for some reason i got this error message :
"Error: Please check the Ethernet cable connection from your PC and make sure the router is powered on."
I have my router on , both cable are connected etc ..
what should I do ?
like i said , i dont want share internet from router.because this way the other computers will have internet anytime(even if the main computer will be switched off). What I want is to share internet from my second Ethernet card(from main computer), to the router , and from the router , to give internet through cable C to 2'nd desk computer and wireless to laptop.

Yes, but what is your's ip, of the card? did you get ip from router or not. If not try to manualy set ip to 192.168.0.100, and than try to access router with browser." -- i dont get it.
but i did this : setup manually the ip for the second(B) network card 192.168.0.100 , than conect the secon card to router into WAN port. Than went to browser to http://192.168.0.100 and i got Error!
Could not connect to remote server
No, wrong. setup manually ip to 192.168.0.100, then connect cable to any lan port on router. Disconnect second cable for now. Then go to browser and open http://192.168.0.1
done , it worked. I have setup the second adapter to 192.168.0.100 . and i am at http://192.168.0.1
what next?
done , it worked. I have setup the second adapter to 192.168.0.100 . and i am at http://192.168.0.1

hmm..yes , pseudocyber i think you are right.. but in the manual it says that router have to have the internet provider cable connected to WAN port.so i thought , that using ICS , my second network adapter will be like an internet provider in this case , and the cable from that adapter have to be plugged into WAN port of the router. :)
anyway , i think the problem is solved now , thanks X_layer
Ok. To expand on my first post ...
As I understand, you want all Internet through the "Internet PC" which is dual homed - two NICs. You have it connected to a router/switch which is wireless to a laptop and wired to another PC. Like this:
Internet---I'PC---Switch(R
|
PC
First of all - you don't want the D-Link doing ANY routing at all - so forget about the WAN port. You want it to be a wireless AP for the laptop and a switch for the other PC. Now, by default, DHCP is probably on on the D-Link, so you ought to turn it off. You ought to change the LAN IP of the D-Link, since by default it's probably .1 If not, that's OK. I like the default gateway (your Internet PC) as .1 but it's really no big deal.
The easiest thing to do is to enable routing on your Internet PC by using Internet Connection Sharing. This routes between your Internet Provider's network assigned IP (public IP) and does Network Address Translation (NAT) for you. It's real easy. It also turns on DHCP. So, then your other pc and your laptop will pull IP's from your Internet PC, not your D-Link, which is good. Then, your other machines will simply be FORWARDED to your Internet PC by the SWITCH function of your D-Link.
The cable probably didn't work on the WAN port because the NIC in the PC are both DTE wired and the switch ports (LAN) ports are DCE.
Hope this helps.

On the machine with two NICs, enable Internet Connection Sharing.
On the Dlink - disable DHCP.
The other desktop and the laptop via wireless should both get IP address via dhcp from the first computer with two NICs and use it as their default gateway.
