Below is a well drawn picture in Paint, about my network. I want to add another computer to it (Computer 2). How would i go about getting the internet on it? I've connected computer 3 and 2 together with a crossover cable but its not doing much... It just says they're connected and not giving me the internet.
Have you actually set up ICS (Internet Connection Sharing) to share Computer 3's connection with Computer 2?
If you don't want to run a long cat5 cable downstairs from Computer 2 to the router, why not get a wireless card or dongle for the computer? (seeing as your router is wireless anyway, going by how Computer 3 connects)
That's the problem, I've tried a few wireless cards in Computer 2 but i can never get a signal with them, while for some reason Computer 3 can still get a connection. That's why I'm resorting to this.
