Actually your best bet is to use a Wireless Access Point(WAP), not a Gateway,
in that scenario. But given that you have the hardware you have, you've done
the right things generally. Though if the SMC supports being configured as a
WAP (some gateways do), I would be inclined to configure it as a WAP. If not,
setting non-conflicting DHCP ranges should work. The problem is that
normally, DHCP doesn't pass a router boundary, so simply disabling it on one
of them can cause issues if it can't be set for passthrough.
I'd avoid manually configured NICs if you can. It's a real nuisance to deal
with in the long run, and especially on a laptop.

If you want to make the main computer provide Internet service to the 3rd
computer, and you cannot connect the third computer (and the wired router)
directly to the WiFi router and the cable modem, might I suggest that you run
ICS on the main computer. Note that I do not recommend this as a general
choice. Read this article:
<http://nitecruzr.blogspot.com/2005/05/ics-is-ok-but-you-can-do-better.html>
http://nitecruzr.blogspot.com/2005/05/ics-is-ok-but-you-can-do-better.html
Note that getting ICS working is subject to how you configure both the WiFi
router, and the wireless router. You would be way better off using the WiFi
router to share service to all computers. Why do you need a second router,
anyway? More details about your network might be a good idea.

You asked some questions about my setup and I have some questions on your
response. My cable modem and wireless router are in a different location
from my main computer - will ICS work with this setup? I had given up on
that idea 2 days ago thinking my main computer needed to be directly
connected. (Note that I have not read or fully understood all the references
you supplied.) I thought I needed the second router to allow the main
computer to talk to the computer without the wireless card and I do not have
a crossover cable - I thought a special cable was needed. |

OK, let's start from the beginning. Please describe where each of the following
components are located, in relation to the other, and what network devices each
computer uses:
# Cable modem / WiFi router.
# Main computer.
# Wired router.
# Computer 3.
I think if we can get the locational issues out of the way, we can clarify the
wiring issues. Maybe we can simplify your setup a bit, and get it to work as it
should. Read the previously cited articles, and take your time to fully
understand. And here's another one - if you truly need to use two routers,
maybe for locational or wiring reasons, here is an article that describes how to
set them up appropriately.

I'll try again. Distant room has cable modem and wireless router. Computer
room has big PC with wireless card and wired card. Big PC is on wireless
network with wireless router. Little PC is also in computer room. Little PC
has only a wired card. A wired router does exist and is now being used in
the computer room to create a network that allows Big PC and little PC to
talk to each other. Without adding hardware, how do I get internet service
for little PC. Wired router is Linksys NR041. Both PCs have XP home. The
article you referenced seemed to require routers to be connected to each
other. |

OK, you are going to make a Wifi to Ethernet bridge out of the main computer.
Given the hardware that you have right now, you have 2 choices for the main
computer:
# Set it up with a bridge between the wireless and wired network cards. You say
that you've tried this - try this again, and produce "ipconfig /all" for all 3
computers.
# Set it up as an ICS server. In this case, the wired LAN will be 192.168.0/24
- you have no choice. So you will have to setup the WiFi LAN to be other than
192.168.0/24.
The third choice is to buy a WiFi card for Little Computer. A WiFi card costs
about 1 - 2 months broadband service, and it is hella better solution
technically and operationally. Using either of choices 1 or 2 will require the
main computer to be on, and online, whenever you wish to use Little Computer.
It's your dime, and your network. But my advice will always be to buy a WiFi
card, and connect Little Computer directly to the WiFi router.

Thank you, Chuck. I understand perfectly well about the wifi card for the
little PC. I'll be doing that sometime in the future.
When you say with a bridge, I assume you mean the WINDOWS XP Bridge network.
When you say produce "ipconfig/all", is this a command in the setup or just
a DOS type command whose results you want me to post for further analysis.
What does the nomenclature 192.168.0/24 mean. I can set the first three
numbers into router for DCHP assignment and for the router itself - I am not
sure what the 0/24 portion means

OK, I'm glad that you intend to get a WiFi card for the Little Computer sometime
in the future. Let's see what the challenges are with using a workaround first.
A bridge, generically, is a 2 node switch connecting 2 networks with different
physical structure. In your case, you will be bridging WiFi ("input" to Main
computer) to Ethernet ("output" from Main computer, "input" to Little Computer).
An ipconfig log is one of the most basic diagnostic tools in Windows Networking.
Please read this article, and linked articles, and follow instructions
precisely:
<http://nitecruzr.blogspot.com/2005/05/troubleshooting-network-neighborhood.html#AskingForHelp>
http://nitecruzr.blogspot.com/2005/05/troubleshooting-network-neighborhood.html#AskingForHelp
If we can't get a bridge working, and you end up using ICS, which is a software
based NAT router, your Little Computer will end up on a subnet by itself. The
Ethernet card on Main Computer will have an IP address of 192.168.0.1 (with
subnet mask of 255.255.255.0, which is the same as saying subnet 192.168.0/24),
and this cannot be changed. Neither the WiFi LAN, nor the Ethernet LAN (if you
use the wired router as a router), will be able to use 192.168.0/24 - you will
have to reconfigure both to allow for ICS on Main.
<http://nitecruzr.blogspot.com/2005/05/ics-is-ok-but-you-can-do-better.html>
http://nitecruzr.blogspot.com/2005/05/ics-is-ok-but-you-can-do-better.html
Another downside of ICS is that you will end up with a segmented LAN. If you
are planning on running Windows Networking (file / printer sharing), that will
be possible only with a lot of additional work. Network Neighborhood, in
particular, won't work properly.
Anyway, let's start with a bridge on Main, and see what "ipconfig /all" looks
like for all 3 computers. That might give us a clue what your problem is. A
bridge will be hella simpler than ICS, since you already have NAT on the WiFi
router.
