to another network. How do I..? I have a wireless connection to my internet modem/router, then I have a physical LAN connection to another PC. Whenever that connection is enabled, the internet stops working. Any ideas out there on how to fix it?
I should note that I'm using XP and I've done this before many times on other XP systems, where I have one connection going to the internet, and another going to a network hub to one or more PC's. If this isn't supposed to be able to work, then why does Internet Connection Sharing exist?
Also, I can't physically connect to the router because it's upstairs and already connected to a non-wireless PC. The computer I'm doing this on connects to it wirelessly, and the computer I'm connecting to it is in the same room and doesn't do wireless either. This is just a temp fix until I get a new wireless card for the third PC
