Re: OT Using Internet Sharing on a Wireless PC

Sorry about that. I'll describe this out.
My computer is hooked directly to the cable modem and the laptop is
wireless to the same cable modem.

If I hook the PS2 directly to the modem in place of my computer and then
use the laptop as the internet connection for the PS3, that is what I
was wanting to do.

I ran into the problem of shared internet connection relies on having
192.168.0.1 as the address and the laptop has .0.4. I dont know if what
I wanted to do was possible but I thought it might be.

And your wireless laptop connects to what?

What I wanted to do is, I want to plug the PS3 into my laptop and allow
internet connection sharing to work (my wifes ThinkPad with WindozXP)
and then my old PS2 direct into the cable modem.

And the ThinkPad connects to what?

Its the wireless part that Im having trouble with.

It's visualizing the whole setup that I'm having trouble with. Could you
draw a diagram?

It seems to me that as long as you get the two or more wireless bits talking
to each other (and Ad-Hoc mode with fixed IPs might be your best route)
then all you need is to make sure that each machine on the LAN knows its
default gateway. Oh, and the gateway machine needs to be set up for NAT
(Network Address Translation), which you do by installing certain firewall
rules - on Linux at least; if the WinXP machine is the gateway, then I
assume you've already set it up for ICS.
