The Wizard option that you're choosing says that "other computers on
my network connect to the Internet through this computer." Is that
right? Since you have a wireless router, that's an unusual setup.

Please post another news group message describing your network in
detail. Describe what type of Internet connection you have, what's
connected to each port of the router, how each computer gets its
Internet access, etc.
