Hello all,

I am trying to set up a LAN for my appartment. I have a desktop PC with two ethernet cards. I have one ethernet card connected to the internet. I have the other ethernet card connected to a wireless access point. My question is how do I set up the desktop PC the share the internet connection with the wireless access point. Any help on this would be great.

Thanks,
