Question on Home Networking

[Guest]

I am trying to set up a "server" to the Internet using XP. Computer A has
(a) a NIC card to a Cable Modem, (b) a wireless NIC card and (c) a modem.
Computer A can get to the Internet.
Computer B has a wireless NIC Card. Computer B can get to the Internet via
A (Computer A's NIC Card (a) is Shared).
Computer C dials in and connects via Computer A's modem (c) and shows up on
A under "Incoming Connections". Computer C cannot access the Internet.
How can I get C to get through A to the Internet?

computer A has wrong configs on either b or possibly c. Could be A had
problems on (a) too.
But what I cant quite follow is why B doesn't have a letter assigned to
modem b. And why does C need to dial into B then go out A.

Maybe if you just say what you want to do without all the letters I can
understand what the heck you're talking about.

Using a laptop, I am trying to phone into my home number whereby Computer A
answers the dial up connection and provides a broadband access to the
Internet. This way I don't have to pay for RoadRunner AND a dial up
(PeoplePC, etc.)

B uses its wireless connection to A.

C (laptop) is not in range of the wireless network) so must dial in.

You have a cable modem. Computer A has two NICs, one to cable modem, and
two to wireless access point; also a dial up modem. Computer B has wireless
NIC to wireless access point. Computer C has dial up modem, and connects to
the Computer A dial up modem from the road. Computer A has ICS installed,
and is sharing the cable modem connected NIC with computer B. How is the
Computer A dial up modem going to access the Internet? There is no bridge,
no ICS connection.

I don't know how to do this, because I am not using Windows XP, and have
not explored whether I can set Windows ME to bridge the TCP/IP stack. But I
believe that there is some configuration, somewhere in Windows XP, by which
you should be able to set up a TCP/IP bridge between the Computer A dial up
modem and the computer A ICS network card.

In the "bridge window" when everything is connected up on "A", all of the
NIC cards are "bridgeable" to each other. However when "C" dials in it
shows up in the same window as a "Incoming Connection" but WIndows XP does
not allow me to bridge between it and the NIC card connected to the Cable
Modem
