Internet sharing using two nic?

Question

This is the scenario.
Internet sharing .

I get web access from a wireless network. I use a wireless adapter to get access and i want expand it so tht some other computers can get web access too. The network is set up using a wireless router.I can transfer files within the network.But i dont get internet access on the server(i.e the system which has the wireless adapter) when both the adapter and the Nic are enabled. I have to disable the Nic to be able to get access. But if i disable the Nic then im not part of the network. How do i solve this problem so tht i can have Web access all over the network?

Im running 2000 professional on the server. i can change the machine to one which has Xp Pro if thts gonna help in any way.

I have heard tht there is a way of assigning priority to Netwrok adapters so tht we can decide which one is to be the gateway to the internet. How do i do that?

Any enlightenment in this issue will be very much Appreciated .

Answer 1

You are just a little vague on your setup so I'm not sure what you've got going on. Sounds like you have two separate networks running and nothing bridging the two. On the server, make sure the "Default Gateway" is set to the IP address of the wireless router. Probably 192.168.1.1
