I have two computers, arrakis and caladan, which I'd like to connect to
the an SMC7004VWBR router. The router provides the internet connection
but isn't physically accessible. Therefore, the connection must be
wireless (wi-fi, 802.11b).

Is it possible for arrakis to use ICS (Internet Connection Sharing) to
give caladan internet access? I'm looking at firestarter:

as a way of doing this.

thanks,
