Networking teaser...

[Gaurav Sahai]

I have two systems - system A with one wireless NIC and one wired NIC, and
system B with 1 wired NIC (both running Win2K). In addition, I have another
wireless router and a hub that I can use (but not currently using).

System A's wireless NIC is picking up a signal from a wireless router, and
I'm trying to get system B on the internet using system A. Both systems are
in close proximity to each other, but are removed from the router (such that
it isn't possible to physically connect any of the systems to the router
through cables). One obvious solution is to get another wireless NIC and
stick it into system B, but I'm shying away from that for now.

I've hooked up both the systems through a hub (through the wired NICs on
both systems), and they can talk to each other fine. I've also tried to
enable ICS on the wired NIC on system A (which goes into the hub to which
system B also connects), and while the system A continues to be able to
access the internet, I can't seem to figure out what's keeping system B from
accessing it too.

Any suggestions appreciated

Disable ICS on the wired NIC on system A. Enable ICS on the wireless NIC on
system A.
