network configuration (wifi + ethernet) -- HELP

Hi,

I try to set a "special" network at home.
This is the scheme


LAN ------------------------------- PC1 (WIN98)
(with internet |
connection) |
- O -
|

(ad hoc connection)

|
- O -
|
|
PC2 (XP)


PC 1 :
---------
ethernet card :
IP = 192.168.1.30 gateway = 192.168.1.1
usb wifi :
IP = 192.168.1.31 gateway : 192.168.1.1

PC2
------
wireless card :
IP = 192.168.1.40 gateway : 192.168.1.31

So PC1 is connected to a LAN. Everything is ok. network + internet.

I try to add a wifi ( ad hoc connection ) to PC2 but i realy cant acces
the net, or ping anything other than 192.168.1.31

Am i wrong? why PC2 cant acces the net ?
Any help (self theorical) woul be very granted.

Is there any brigde or ip routing solutions ?

PC2 can't access the net because PC1 isn't configured to share its LAN
Internet connection. Just setting gateway addresses isn't sufficient.

Another problem is that PC1 has two network adapters with IP addresses
in the same subnet (192.168.1.x). That's certain to cause problems.

If PC1 has Windows 98 Second Edition, you can enable ICS (Internet
Connection Sharing) on the LAN connection and configure PC2 as an ICS
client. These web pages have details:

ICS Installation [Win98SE]

XP ICS - Client Setup Using the Network Setup Wizard
http://www.practicallynetworked.com/.../clientwiz.htm

If it's possible, it would be much better to connect PC2 directly to
the LAN Internet connection and use PC1 as the one with the remote
wireless connection. XP's version of ICS is much more reliable and
much easier to set up than 98SE's version.
