2 NICs, wireless router, and dorm internet...
Hello all,

Here is my situation, any advice or ideas appeciated:

My tower is hooked up to the DCHP that my school provides. We only get one IP address. I have a laptop and a wireless router begging for some love. BUT- I can't put the router between the dorm-internet and PC, I share printers and play LAN games on the school network.

I was thinking that I could use XP's ICS with a second NIC, to turn my PC into a router (computer is always on anywany), and use my wifi router as an access point, so my laptop would have its own little LAN with internet. Problem is, I can't get the settings right.

Router is D-Link DL-614+, both comps run XP SP2.
Thanks for any thought/time given.

Yes, I was thinking that the ICS could be used to share my assigned internet. So it's University LAN --> My PC with ICS --> Wireless Router (from 2nd NIC on tower) --> my laptop.

Laptop has an RJ45, but the goal is wireless connectivity.

Solved! Using WiFi Router as Access Point with ICS
Figured it out today, mostly from various tidbits found on google...

Main PC has ICS enabled on NIC1, which sets up a DCHP using NIC2 as a base, at 192.168.0.1. From NIC2, a straight cable to the LAN (not WAN) port of the wireless router.

On the router: turn the DCHP off, set its address at something other than NIC2 (I used 192.168.0.200). Set up WLAN settings, and viola, I have 3 wired-ports and the WLAN all from my one account. Just set the new clients to "Detect DCHP" and you're golden.

If you can't put a hardware router on [school policy?] then what you are doing with ics is also against policy.

that being the case you hooking up a hardware vs software [ics] router would have been easier and given you faster access times.

It's not against school policy, I just didn't want to lose connectivity to the school's network (LAN games, printer/file sharing, etc). My main PC remains just as fast, and there is no noticable slow downs on the laptop, which is only used for work anyway.
