I have a wireless desktop network card which I retrieve my internet connection from my router. Can I use my 10/100 PCI network card (wired) to run another internet connection to another computer. Basically I want to hook up my gaming console to my computer and then have it use the wireless connection to gain access to the internet.
You should be able to do it by using Windows internet connection sharing; however, you probably won’t like the performance.
Why don’t you connect the gaming console to your wireless router. I bet there are 4 ports on that router just waiting for a nice juicy cable to be plugged-into.
Take a look.
Yes. Look in your network connection properties for Internet Connection Sharing on the wireless connection. Don’t forget that you will need a crossover network cable or hub to connect your pc to console.
Yes. If you are using Windows XP you can bridge the network connections by going to Network Connections in the Control Panel, selecting both the wireless network and the wired network, right clicking on them while both are selected, and choosing Bridge Connections. You may need to use a crossover cable, rather than a normal cable, though some cards can now automatically detect.
