Wireless Internet Connection Sharing

My computer is wirelessly connected to a friends access point accross the
street. Using another wireless adapter I am also connected to other computers
in my house using ad-hoc connection, in the same workgroup with file sharing
up and running with no problems.

As some of the other machines in my house are just out of range of the
access point accross the street, I was wondering if it possible to share the
WIRELESS connection that the first computer has?

The name of the access point connection appears in the ICS list and I can
get the sharing hand overlay to appear on the wireless connection icon. What
I am not sure about is how to get the adhoc computer's web browser to use the
ICS host's connection.

Any help much appreciated!

Probably, see:

Instead, you might be able to simply bridge the connections in the 2 adapter
machine:

Thanks for reply Doug but both those links are dead, any other pages you know
of that would have same info?

Tried bridging the connection which appeared to work on the two adapter
machine but still not able to browse on the satellite machine.

The URLs are wrapped - you may have to copy both lines into the address bar.

Have you rebooted the other machines?

Thanks Guys, I had actually already read that page but not closely enough!

I think I made a mistake in sharing the right connection and choosing the
private network but it works great. All computers have perfect uninterupted
wireless throughout the house!
