I wasnt sure which forum this goes in... this seemed the closest...

I live in one of those mother-in-law apartments, and I my landlord lets me share the cable connection and he also provides free cable tv...

in order to get internet, I use wireless. He let me put my wireless router in his office. I have a wireless NIC card on my 2003 server over here at my place.

I want to connect my other machines to the network over here, but I am having a bit of trouble to get ICS or NAT working. I tried them both, with no luck. I followed the help pages and set it up according to them for both ICS and Routing and Remote Access (obviously not at the same time... I tried both of them coz I couldnt get one to work, so I tried the other).

ICS is alot more simple interface; I set ICS on the wireless NIC and set it to allow my local NIC to use its connection. I then plugged in my local hub which had a 2000 workstation connected to it with automatic ip discovery set.

one thing that caught my eye was that I have the network icons set to the system tray when they are connected, but the red X wont go away on the local NIC, so I am not sure its doing anything (The NIC works fine, used it the other day when I took the machine in the landlords house).

does the fact that the local NIC red X not go away indicate what I think it does? ie; I didnt do something right.

I have a picture that sums up what my layout is here; http://e403.com/images/Drawing2.jpg

so... I am supposed to connect a hub or another router to the local NIC which has been designated as the local connection through the wireless share?

hope all that made sense...
