I havent tried this particular setup so maybe someone could shed some
more light on it.
Configure your router as just an AP, no DHCP server. Plug a lan port
from the AP
into and ethernet card (if you have one) on your PC. Run the ICS
wizard form the
wireless adapter properties/advanced menu and follow instructions.
What I
am not sure of is how you get your IP address, is it static or
dynamic. The ICS
I think assigns 192.168.0.1 to your internet connection adapter which
could
prevent you from accessing the internet. I assume your sharing
someones connection
or is this a wisp??

Sure.. Theres a program that does that very well.. Part of windows called
ICS (Internet Connection Sharing). Lets me share my internet from multiple
Laptops/desktops/pda's. And have used it with
Cable/Dsl/Dial-up/Cellphone/Data cards/WiFi etc.

Hate to sound "snippy", but have you tried a solution that is built into
windows, instead of looking for an outside program, to do what windows
already does?
