Heres the thing....

Broadband connection via PCI ADSL modem, shared on a network of three pc's, all able to get internet access.

Now I also have a laptop with a wireless connection to the main PC too, question is how do I get this to share the internet connection too, at the same time as the wired network.

I dont want to get a router / wireless access point at this time, I have tried bridging the wired network to the wireless but this fails to work.

Any and all ideas would be appreciated.

BTW running Win XP pro.

Thanks.

Get a wireless router/modem combination, if moneys tight get an 802.11b setup. Believe me its worth it to your sanity rather than trying to get all the wrinkles out of ICS. Nightmare doesnt even come close.
