Hi
I am not clear about how your Network's topology works.
If your Internet access comes from a free Hot Spot to your Wireless
Computer, and want to connect the rest of your Network to the Internet.
The Host computer has to be configured with Windows ICS. Any additional
Router used for additional Wireless has to be configured as an Access Point
with a switch, and be connected through a regular port to a second Network
card on the Host Computer.
