ok ive got two comps right next to each other. windows comp has a wireless card thats a pcmcia (laptop card) adapter so a laptop wireless card gives it signal thru the pci card. it also has an ethernet port. linux comp has an ethernet port. basically what im trying to do is make the ethernet on the windows comp OUTPUT the internet connection it has so that the linux comp can be connected to it by ethernet cable and therefore have internet too. Is this possible? I didnt think so at first but it doesnt seem so out there when u think about it. im sure some type of program could handle it.
