Connect wirelessly through a wired computer?
Okay, so here's my situation.
Here's how my network is set up. There's a Belkin Wireless G Router in my parents bedroom upstairs. One cable runs down from there, into my brothers room, where I have a hub set up. This distributes the Internet to my two computers down here, my brothers, and my sisters. There's a long story behind it, but I bought a Wireless NIC for my Windows gaming box. My question is, is there a way I can distribute the Internet from my Windows machine (connecting wirelessly to the router upstairs) to the other machines (preferably just my other computer) on the hub downstairs? I had a feeling it has something to do with the Network Bridge thing I've been seeing, but when I was fidling with it, I managed to mess the network up, and had to go back to the default settings for it to work again. Any ideas? |
so... you want to have
router ----(wireless)---your PC---(wired)---your other PC ?? windows xp makes it sickeningly easy to bridge connections: select both network connections, right-click, and say 'bridge connections'... then sit back for a minute... 'course if you're not putting a hub between your two PCs, you'll also need a crossover cable... |
I had a feeling that was the case, I must've just done something terribly stupid. I'll give it a whirl later tonight.
