Re: Looking to share my Laptop Wireless over Laptop LAN port

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

That is the way it is supposed to work. The laptop will create a
192.168.0.x network for your local network and ICS takes care of
translating internet requests over to the 192.168.1.x network for
internet connection (Network Address Translation, NAT). So internet
traffic is relayed by your laptop to/from your hardwired computer.
This should provide internet connectivity for your hardwired computer
but it may have problems Windows-networking with other machines on your
192.168.1.x network because Windows networking does not work well
through routers (particularly NAT routers) and ICS makes your laptop
look/act like a NAT router... but your initial request was for internet
access, not networking amongst local computers.

No, your right in what your telling me to setup, as I want Internet
information from the laptop sent to the 'other' machine (basically what the
other machine is just to bring you up to speed, is Linux on a PS3, but as
neither is pertenant to this group I called it an 'other' machine)

So, what you are saying to me, are the results I am achieving, which tells
me the laptop is set up correctly to send internet down a crossover cable
from the LAN port, that has been received to itself from it's own wireless
PCMCIA card from my network.

So it looks like the problem will be the PS3/Linux network setup, so I will
hunt down another group (relevant to either) and post a request in there...

John, thank you for your help on this matter.

Regards
Paul.
