internet sharing with Lan and Wlan

i have one desktop pc with one Lan card and one WLan card. ICS is enabled on
it for Lan card. I have two other computers. One desktop and one laptop.
Desktop computer is taking internet from ICS enabled pc using Lan card. Now i
want to use internet on my Laptop which has built-in WLan card.

Is it possible to use internet at the same with Lan and WLan. I don't have
budget to purchase an access point.

Thankx!

ICS will only work on one network card. So to do what you want to do an
access point would be the way to go. It is also usally possible to buy a
wireless router and turn off it's DHCP server, creating an accesspoint.

Yes indeed.

That is a great article on how to setup ICS on a wireless connection, as I
understand the OP, he needs to have ICS setup on both a wireless connection
and a wired connection at the same time. Or he wants to use three network
cards at one time. ICS does not support this. Plugging an access point into
the wired LAN would be the easiest way to do what he wants.

OK. I understood it differently.

Hi
I do not know where you getting your Internet from, but if your source is
coming as Wireless through the use of ICS, and you want to use it for an
additional Wireless Laptop, you would end up with double NAT a very "quirky"
system if at all. You should consider changing the topology of your
Network, pending on what is the actual Internet source that you have.
This page describes few options for Wireless bridging,

My internet connection is simply dial-up.
