I have 2 PCs at home, desktop and laptop, they both were connected to internet via WiFi router, but after I installed GTX260, the WiFi card on the primary PC has gone completely dead (doesn't see any networks at all).
WiFi card was a crap to begin with (1 bar of reception), but now it's out and I don't want to spend more money on hardware right now (recent MoBo/GFX/PSU/HDD changes). So I want to reroute the internet to the primary PC.
So far I have a 1Gbps connection between the two.
Primary (desktop):
192.168.3.1
255.255.255.0
-.-.-.-
Secondary (laptop):
192.168.3.2
255.255.255.0
-.-.-.-
What I want to is to change the routing table on the laptop to forward all requests from PC through built in WiFi card if they ask for external networks.
I remember you could view route tables on XP through console, but I don't quite remember how, and I don't know how to edit them to forward requests.
ICS and network bridging solutions are not very cool because WiFi drops once in a while and bridge doesn't allow it to be repaired easily, but ICS messes up other places where I have to connect my laptop (changing IPs from DHCP to static very often sucks, but ICS polluting subnet with automatic addresses is even worse ). And my laptop has 256MB of RAM, so all changes take ages...
So is it possible to do what I want?
