Re: Approach to use cross-over connect as part of LAN

ICS should work fine as long as the "existing 3-computer LAN" is not using
192.168.0.x addresses. ICS will provide DHCP only on the crossover
connection.

And yes, instead of ICS you could simply enable routing on A, but you would
also have to configure a static route on the router. How you do this is
product dependent.

Computers A & B each have XP Pro and are connected by a cross-over cable
to
share printer.
Wireless nic was installed on A for access to existing 3-computer LAN
connected to cable modem through router.
How do I get B to access the Internet??
(Am volunteer for charity org, so my time is worth less than another
wireless nic for B)
1) It seems that ICS on A with B as client would set up dueling DHCPs and
NATs??
2) Can I set up static IPs on all computers and have A address router for
gateway and have B adddress A as gateway??
3) Can this be done at all??

Thanks for any help,
