Not in the shower Icrontian
I have a wireless network... computer A is hooked up to the wireless network VIA wireless card. There is also an ehternet card in computer A. Now, i want to hook computer B to the network VIA computer A. Both computer A and B have ethernet cards. How would i go about hooking up computer A to computer B so that computer B leeches off the internet supplied by computer A? (i have windows xp pro)

Check your firewall settings in windows xp on machine A. Is ICS making machine A 192.168.0.1? That would cause the problem. There should be a way to change it in windows, but I can't test it for you since i only have one NIC installed. You could also change the IP of the router.
Since windows ICS deals out IP addresses, if your router is doing DCHP you should disable that.

192.168.1.1
so i could avoid the stooopid error when i tried to enable ICS, but when i enable ICS, the computer feels that it is not connected to the internet
Heres your setup...
Nic A Wireless connection PC1
Nic B Wired connection PC1
Nic C Wired Connection PC2
Connect Nic B to Nic C with a crossover cable
Configure Nic B as 192.168.100.1 with a subnet of 255.255.255.0
Configure Nic C as 192.168.100.2 with a subnet of 255.255.255.0
Configure Nic C with a gateway of 192.168.100.1
Configure Nic C with DNS server information from Router
On PC1 highlight Nic A and Nic B right click either nic and choose bridge connection from the menu...
Thats quick and dirty xp routing...
Or...

and do ICS
Tek
is that the DNS in which tekgamer speaks of?
a "crossover" cat5 cable is used for computer to computer connections.
a straight-through, or regular cat5 cable is used for computer-anything, anything-anything connections.
unfortunately i dont know enough about ICS to give you a walkthrough. =P good luck mate.

Awesome site there; you can't get much more detailed instructions than that
BTW Thanks for posting this; i am planning on doing this in the next couple weeks for an extra folding box on my new 54g network
No, thats not DNS, thats DHCP..... which is why it says DHCP, suprisingly.
So do what Tek said.
Change the IP address of the machine that is going to be the ICS machine to 196.168.100.2. Then change the laptop to 192.168.100.3. Also in the laptops network settings, set its DEFAULT GATEWAY to 192.168.100.2 and the PRIMARY DNS to 192.168.100.2 (may have to be .1).
You cant use Windows standard ICS as you are now on a different subnet and the .1 is already taken.
That should work.
