So here’s what I’m trying to do. My internet connection is via a T-Mobile branded 3G/4G USB modem which works fine. At the moment it is connected to an old ASUS laptop (running XP SP3) that does not have a built in wireless adapter. I also have an AirLive WLA-5200AP wireless access point (specs here; http://www.airlive.com/product/product_2.jsp?pcid=PC1214554004088). What I want to know is how to share the laptop’s internet access via the wireless ap. Is such a thing even possible? The other computers I want to share with are an Acer Aspire One (XP), an Asus Eee (Debian) and MacBook (OS 10.5)

I’m generally fairly good with computers but what I know about networking and specifically wireless networking, could be written on the back of stamp.

Any help much appreciated.

I currently have cable modem connected to a router, and several computers connected to the router. The router and clients are set up to use DHCP. My question is, computer X is connected to the internet through the router on its main ethernet interface, eth0. How do I configure computer X’s second ethernet interface eth1, to communicate with computer Y, so computer Y may also have internet access. Running Slackware 10.2 on computer X, Fedora Core 4 on computer Y. I am still doing research, but am having a hard time finding relevent results.
