shareing a internet connection

When two network adapters are present in a computer,

If one of the network adapters is used to connect to the
Internet,IP 172.16.71.29 netmask 255.255.0.0 gateway
172.16.1.1
For the network adapter that is connected only to the
Local Area Network (LAN), IP 192.168.1.2 netmask
255.255.255.0 gateway "none"

What should be the gateway or

what route should be added useing the route.exe commond so
that all the computers on the Local Area Network (LAN)
needs to obtain access to the Internet.

Change the default gateway on the network (client) pc's to 192.168.1.2

On the pc with the two cards you need to make a change to the registry
to enable ip forwarding between the two interfaces

On win9x this is

System Key:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Servic es\VxD\MSTCP]
Value Name: EnableRouting = 1
Data Type: (string value)
Value Data: (0 = disabled, 1 = enabled)

For winxp/2k/NT

System Key:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Servic es\Tcpip\Parameters]
Value Name: IPEnableRouter
Data Type: REG_DWORD (DWORD Value)
Value Data: (0 = disabled, 1 = enabled)
