Hi - Hope somebody can help.

My setup is as follows

1 x ADSL Router (acting as DHCP Server & router 192.168.0.1/255.255.0.0)
1 x Wireless AP hard wired to the router (192.168.0.50/255.255.0.0)
1 x Fileserver contain 2 network cards 1 wireless to connect to the
AP/Internet (through the router) and a wired network card connecting to the
PC below.
1 x PC with 1 wired network card connected to file server.

DHCP is enabled on ALL TCP/IP Settings, however only the Filserver can
connect to the internet and only the wireless network card is obtaining its
IP via DHCP. The wired network card in both PC's are being assined an
"Automatic Provate Address". I've tried bridgeing the 2 cards in the file
server but all that does is prevent the fileserver from seeing the net.

I'm assuming my problem has something to do with routing or default
gateways.

Your Help would be appreciated in a step by step guide - Many Thanks

Steve

For your setup, you need to enable Internet Connection Sharing on the Wireless NIC on the file server. Your file server will act as the Internet Gateway for the other PC.

Additionally, its not necessary to cross post to so many groups. Particularly ones that are unrelated to your question.

Did you reboot after the change? I assume so and then tested.

One other thing - turn all firewalls off and then logon to Internet and run
the network setup wizard then making sure all other machines to use the
shared connection are on at the time, too. Sometimes it is the only thing
that fixes it.
