Internet connection sharing via wireless usb adapter

[whreck]

Heres my setup:


I have broadband cable going into a wireless router (netgear mr314) which is cat5 wired to 2 pcs. I have 2 more pcs upstairs, one of which has a usb wireless adapter and a 2nd nic. The other pc has a regular nic. These 2 pcs are connected by a crossover cable.

I tried enabling internet connection sharing on the 1st pc with the usb wireless adapter, enabling sharing on the pci nic (linksys 100tx). But when i try, it says that theres an ip conflict with another device on the lan. I'm assuming its trying to assign it 192.168.0.1, but thats the routers internal ip.

This is about as far as i got and have no idea where to go to now. The 2 pc's that are connected togheter via crossover can see each others shared folders, but cannot get any internet connections (internet explorer, aim, icq).

Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

You are correct

so all you need to do is use Another Subnet

something like 192.168.2.1
or maybe 10.10.10.1

or whatever you can think of

can't you just run a cable up to the two computers? it seems like you are doing way too much work for a single network. you could also get another wireless adapter for the second pc and ditch the crossover. running ICS and a router in the same network is not recommended.
