Sharing Internet w/2 nics

I have a wireless-G router that is supplying internet to my computer at my house (the router is at another house).

I have two nics in my computer...the USB wifi card is receiving the internet...

I was wondering if there would be a way to configure the internet in my comptuer so that I could plug in a router into it to supply internet to my other computers?

Thanks,
Steven

It would have to have an "out" port ad NICs have "in" ports


Correct me if I'm wrong

You have the router connected to NIC1, and NIC2 has nothing connected, right?
Then just get a crossover cable, and another NIC to go into the second computer and using a crossover cable connect them. Run XP's networking wizard and your done.

If you need connections for more than 1 extra computer it would be best if you buy an ethernet switch and a NIC for each extra computer and connect them to the switch with one of the connections in the switch going to the primary computer with the 2 NICs.

pretty easy solution

i would get a a switch and have everything plug into that.

If you only want one other machine to be plugged in, than the cross over cable solution is fine
