[MLB-WIRELESS] Where to go for technical help?

[Andrew Dean]

Well Windows in general isn't an ideal routing solution, but it can do it
and it does it by modifying the register with that IProuteenabled key or
whatever - it sounds like you found it

from there you need to manipulate the routing table of your other machines

assuming windows the line should look something like this

route add 192.168.0.0 MASK 255.255.255.0 IP_OF_ROUTER

where 192.168.0.0 is the subnet of your wireless cards

and IP_OF_ROUTER should be the wired interfaces IP address

you should also have the gateway on the wireless client(xp laptop?) set to
the wireless IP of your router which i belive would already be set correctly
from ICS

this should work

if it doesn't most likely the router isn't routing, to test ping the wired
interface on the router from your laptop.. if it works then routing is
working
