PC share internet access ?

Three PC's....

Computer A is wired to........ Computer B... Computer B has Wireless internet access from Computer C (MAIN).....

I've wired A to B via crossover cable and am able to file share. Can I also configure the PC's (A and B) to share the wireless internet connection via the crossover cable ?

Thanks in advance,

MG:)

You have a kludgy setup.

What you need to do is get wireless cards for A&B & create a network so you can share drivers & printers if needed and the internet connection.

It's already in place that way from before I had wireless access ? Aside from speed (?) ... what is the downfall from this setup ? MG :)

It is like runnig 2 networks together instaed od\f one big network. You would have to use ICS to do this. Just get a cople of wireless cards and be done with this...
