Asus P5B with WiFi & sharing internet

Hi,

I would like to ask if there is a way to use WiFi on my Asus P5B
computer to to have a notebook surf the net. The Asus computer is not a
DHCP server and is not directly connected to the internet.
Below is more information.

I just set up a computer with the above m/board running Win 2003
Server. My current setup consists of a 4 computers (3 x Windows XP's
and 1 x Windows 2003) plugged into a switch which is, in turn, plugged
into a Trendnet TW100-BRV204 VPN firewall router. The TW100-BRV204's
WAN port is connected to the internet. Everything works well if WiFi is
left out of the equation.

I would like to have a notebook computer access the internet by using
the WiFi functionality of the Asus P5B and although I managed establish
a wireless connection between the two computers I cannot surf off the
notebook.

In my setup the Trendnet TW100-BRV204 acts as DHCP server and assigns
IP addresses itself (I can tie IP addresses by MAC address if
necessary). If it can be of any help, the setup is a workgroup based
one.

I would be very greatful for any links or tips on how to make this
work.

Regards,
Al

Enable Internet Connection Sharing on the gateway computer.
