Two computers sharing wireless adapter for internet.

Is it possible for two computers to share internet access with host using a PCI wireless adapter and the other computer connected to the host computer using and Ethernet connection? If so, How? I am currently using a Linksys Range Plus wireless adapter which in turn is communicating with a Linksys WRT160N router.

You may also need to use a cross-over ethernet cable if you connect the PC directly (without a hub/switch). Also don't expect quick internet access!

 

I have an ethernet cross over cable joining the two computers in my room. The host computer in my room communicates with the Linksys router in the room next door wirelessly. I tried using ICS but I couldn't get the guest computer to access the internet. When I used ipconfig /all, all it would do is list the connection to the host computer with the wireless card. I could also ping the host computer fine and vise versa the host to the guest computer. I could also access the router configuration webpage which is built into the router by interring it's IP address in the guest computer. The router card it connected to a cable modem using comcast.
