Cannot get NIC to connect to router through PCI wireless card ( 4 Views )

no kitty!
  1. I've got a central computer that connects wirelessly to a router that connects to the internet.

    I want to plug a secondary device into the NIC of this machine and bridge the connections so that my secondary device can access the internet.

    When I bridge the connections, the internet is not accessable at all on the machine and the secondary device cannot see it either.

    What am I doing wrong? Is there another way to do this?

  2. Im not really following you on this.. You say you have:

    AP/Router combo, which connects to the internet
    Computer with a PCI card, and a wifi card (Wifi used to connect to the router).
    A second pc to connect to the internet, shared through the 1st pc?

    If so, dont bridge the connection. Run windows' "set up a small office/home office network" and there will be three or four options in there with pictures. One should be "this computer connects directly to the internet, other computers connect to the internet through this pc".

    Secondary NIC IP should change to 192.168.0.1/255.255.255.0, and the clients will get an IP via DHCP.

  3. Agreed, your post is confusing. If you want to physically connect to the network through the 1st PC instead of through the router, you will need a CROSSOVER cable between Comp 1 and 2. Bridging is the way to go, but without the crossover(regular cat 5 wont do), computer 2 isnt connected. You will bridge the addin nic to the network connection(wifi) that is connected to the internet(both on comp1).
