Connecting Belking Wireless Router to the Internet via another computer

Hello

I have a Belkin Wireless G Router (F5D7230-4). I wanna go ahead and
connect it to the Internet and use the router as an access point.

The way I connect to the internet is through a wifi network via a
wireless card on my pc.

So my question is how do I hook up the router to my PC, have it connect
to the internet using my wireless connection and then use that router as
an access point?

Any help would be appreciated

1. Use it as a wireless access point with the DHCP server turned off.
(See How To below.)
2. Connect it to your PC.
3. Enable ICS (Internet Connection Sharing) on your PC.

How about going at it from the other way around? Have the Belkin connect to
the wifi network and then wire the PC into it. This way you'll have
constant connectivity without the PC being turned on. Set up the Belkin
using client mode, load the DD-WRT firmware on it if the factory version
doesn't have client mode.
