How to share wireless NIC with subnet?

I have a windows xp notebook with a wireless PCMCIA NIC. I would like to
connect a linksys NSLU2 (NAS controller) to the public internet but NSLU2's
don't do wireless and I only have wireless internet. How can I slip another
PCMCIA NIC card into the notebook, connect it to the NSLU2 with a crossover
ethernet cable and turn the WindowsXP notebook into a NAT (network address
translation) box to give the NSLU2 unfettered access to the internet?



Thanks,

Siegfried

Hi

I doubt that a NAS would be stable and work well under such condition.

In principle (as you already indicated above) you can plug a Wire PCMCIA,
connect it with crossover cable to the NAS, and use Windows ICS to NAT. I
do not know if the NAS would work with ICS.
