How to Share Wireless Internet connection on wired lan

Guest

I have a UTP switch with 3 pcs connected, sharing printer, disks etc. In one
pc, I added another NIC (wireless) through which Ican share my neigbours ADSL
connection via his wireless network.

1. If I enable both nics, the wireless connection is blocked. unplugging the
wired lan, the wireless connection works fine.
2. How do I share this wireless connection with my wired lan for general
Ineternet access?

Perhaps a better explanation:
------> Wireless NIC to Router -----> Internet
PC
-------> Ethernet Nic to Switch ------> PC A and Laptop

I want laptop to use Wireless NIC to access Internet . Problem: Only 1 of
the NICs will work at a time. Enabling Ethernet Nic, cause W-Nic to not work.
Disable Ethernet NIC and Wireless NIC works fine. Can I share internet
connection to PC A and Laptop? How?

It must TCP/IP configuration. Make sure not two default gateway on a multihomed computer. This search result may help,

RoutingMetric is the same for both the remote gateway and the local gateway Multihomed with two gateways may cause a connectivity problem ....

Do you have permission from your neighbour? You realise that most Internet
Service Providers don't approve of this service.

And do you trust your neighbour? You're putting your computers in his
influence.

Now your first description doesn't mention a router. Where is the router? What
make and model is it? Your verbal description (first), and the "diagram" and
"better explanation" (second), don't match. Try again a third time. Try and
make the verbal and diagram match. And describe each "computer" by network
name, not "this pc" and "that laptop".
