internet sharing xp via wireless router

the router is on the other side of the house next to the telephone line and I don't have a long enough cable ... i'm working on another machine which is sharing my k/b mouse and monitor ... All xp .. i don't have a spare wireless card at the moment. It'd be a great shortcut if i could do it :)

Then do this, and you should be fine: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;306126

I'm looking to do the same. Only I have a PC wireless and am looking to connect an xbox to the wired nic. Anyone done this or know anything about it?

thanks for the wireless card option .. I know that could be easier but I don't have one at the moment. The wireless card which connects to the router doesn't have an internet sharing option in the advanced tab. ... at the moment I have (in network connections) local area connection a wireless connection and internet gateway .. the wireless connection is what is providing me with internet connection .. thanks :)

More information is needed, what kind of router and how many open ports? Internet sharing isnt the way to go here..

netgear dg834g wireless adsl  router .. my computer connect via wireless card assigned an address 192.168.0.5 via dhcp .. the computer I want to connect via crossover cable to share internet is connected to my computers nic .. hope that helps? more info required? :)

so your trying to play games...do you have XP pro or home?

both xp .. i fix machines and I just want to get on the net to download updates, virus definitions etc and because I do it so often it would be handy to hook up .. if possible of course? I could get a wireless card and put it in each time and I could get a 30m cable and connect it but if I could do it this way it would be much easier ... one 1m cable and away I go! :)

xp pro .. sorry

Right click on your wireless settings and select properties, click the advanced tab and you will see a selection for internet connection sharing.

i worked it out!! :) .. select both network cards .. in this case wireless and nic on the same computer .. then bridge them. crossover cable to second computer and bingo!!
Thanks for your help guys :)
