Sharing internet connection (WinXP)

[windos]

Hello!

I've run into a problem today, I don't know how to solve. I have a main computer which plays the role of the gateway. It is connected to the internet and has 2 network cards - one normal and one for wireless connections. Everything was fine when I had only one computer connected to the ethernet card. Now I want to share connection for both the computer connecting to the gateway with ethernet card and my laptop connected with wireless connection.

Do you know how to do it in WinXP ?

Regards!

Why not just buy a $40 router?

Yes, ICS works for me with no problems. The problem is that I can't share the connection for my laptop (wifi) and the other computer (ethernet) simultaneously. Do you think WinRoute would be able to solve my problem?

Try bridging the connections.
EDIT: Im obviously talking about your two network connections, not your internet and network connection (that would not be possible)
