Connecting win XP network through router

[Guest]

Hello,

I have two pc's both running xp and both shared. One used to have an adsl
modem connecting to internet. all worked fine. Then i upgraded to a wireless
router. Now using the wireless card I can connect to the internet and one of
the pc's can connect as well, However the original pc that had a connection
to the modem cannot connect and in fact stops the other two machines from
connecting to the internet. So i have to disconnect the ethernet lan. If i
reconnect it they can all see each other, but no internet connection. I have
turned off the firewalls , uninstalled the modem and tried to turn off ICS or
ICF whatever...is it a conflict with the router... oh its running dhcp as
well. any suggestions!!

Turn off ICS on the original PC:

1. Right-click the shared network connection.
2. Click Properties.
3. Click Advanced.
4. Un-check the ICS box.

ICS would definitely conflict with the router, and running two DHCP
servers on a network is certain to cause problems.
