I have a Desktop PC [setup as Gateway] with one NIC and USB Cable Modem.
I also other Desktops / Laptops connected via Ehternet HUB.
With ICS in XP these can all see each other when I click on 'View Workgroup Computers' and can also access the internet.
Now I have just installed a Wireless AP, ethernet cable to the Hub.
After configuring the Laptop to use PCMCIA Wireless Card and setting up the AP: I can only access the Gateway via IP address and cannot get to the internet.
The NIC has IP 192.168.0.1 [as modified by XP during Network Setup Wizard].
The AP has IP 192.168.0.10
The Laptop has IP 192.168.0.20
AP is set up without any encryption.
Can anyone give me a pointer on how to make the Laptop 'see' the Desktop and also get internet access.
