Dual lan passthrough

[NarcoticHobo]

Hi, so I have my cable modem connected near my main computer due to the house wiring and need a way to connect internet to the wireless router in another room.

What I need to know is if it is possible to plug the cable modem into my main computer, then send that signal out to the wan port of the wireless router through the dual lan on my main computer.

I'm running windows 7 RC and have been playing with the ICS options but to no avail.

Yeah you can do it but it would result wih a Quirky Network.

Better off buying an inexpensive second Router, and then connect it to the Wireless while using the Wireless router as an Access point.

Ok, but in the meantime how would I do it for a temp solution?

Are you saying your house has 'in wall wiring' for your network? If so, Jacks suggestion really is the best. Get a cheap router, turn it into an access point, and even if you are plugging your computer into a wall jack, you can just stick the AP in between your computer and the wall jack and plug your computer into the AP.

If you're just running straight off the cable modem, you really should stick a router into the mix anyways.

Good luck!
