I have a computer that is connected to a router linksys which has internet, the problem is the router is very far so what I want to do is that I want to share internet from the pc that is connected to the router,
Now I know that its very simple just share the ICS on wireless network which will change the Lan address of the pc ethernet to 192.168.0.1, yes through that internet is working, but ive got another router Belkin which i want to connect to the internet pc through ethernet, and I want to use internet wireless through the Belkin router. Here is the whole network in short

Router A(Internet)>(Wireless)>PC(A)>(Ethernet)>Router B>(Wireless)>PC(B)

Now router A and PC A has internet but i want to share it more from the router B.

and please dont tell me to connect wireless bridge direct router to router.

Thanks

There's a ICS guide in the tip and trick section, look through there and you will find most of the information about using a switche to share to many PC, the same principle can be apply to wireless access point, simply setting up your WAP and it will act just like a hub, all traffic will go through the main PC hosting ICS.

thanks for the reply but i didnt get the answer there. the problem is that i am being able to share the internet which is on the host pc which is connected to the internet through router, but what i want to do is share that internet more through another router which will be connected to it through wire cat5. now what hsould the setting be on the router, because to share the internet from the pc the local area network ics makes the ip 192.168.0.1 due to that the ip's are assigned through dhcp or whatever but how to make the router direct?

Can you elaborate on how you want this set up?

It seems that you have an internet connection coming into a router, and then there are host PC(s) connected to that. Wher are you wanting this second router?? Connect it directly to the first router, or connect it to a host PC and share the internet that way...?

If you want to connect it directly to the other router, then use a straight through cable (ONLY use straight cable if the routers do Auto MDI/MDI-x) to connect them LAN port to LAN port (do NOT use WAN port on 2nd router). If you want to connect it to a computer, then you would connect the router to a second NIC on that computer, and connect cables to ONLY the LAN ports on the router, not the WAN ports.
