I've got LAN (NIC w/cat5) b/t 2 desktop computers that seems to work
fine and
am getting internet on the Host through a usb wireless adaptor but I'm
not getting
internet through the LAN to the client computer. I've been messing
with every combination
of configuration settings and no luck.
In the host the wireless's connection is configured for internet
sharing while the lan
connection is not (only one or the other can be designated for
internet sharing and the connections
can not be bridged... so is there any solution via configuration
settings or do I need 3rd party
software to make things happen ?
I would otherwise use a hub if one had the capability to accept the
usb wireless adaptor. Do they?

Anyway here is my IP configuration
Any thing jump out as being a culpret?

One guy on google groups said: "Just to let you guys know that I fixed
it.

I put the wired network on a different subnet and it works fine.
Really well in fact..."

When ICS is enabled in Sharing for Network Adapter #2, this IP address
should automatically become 192.168.0.1,

> Subnet Mask . . . . . . . . . . . : 255.255.0.0

and this subnet mask should become 255.255.255.0.
Via DHCP, the lan adapter of the computer connected to this network
should have an IP address in the range of 192.168.0.#.
