I'm working on a coop project and what im trying todo is connect this desktop pc to the schools wifi using the wireless card then using the LAN port to a router to allow connection of more wireless devices (using a different SSID and password).

I have enabled sharing on the wifi card (ICS) and set up the router to broadcast the new SSID but when you connect there is still no internet. I have tried plugging my laptop into the LAN port of the pc but that also doesn't work.

If anyone could point me in the right direction that would be awesome I don't want to use any 3rd party software
also when I enable ICS I don't get any drop down box I seen in one tutorial that they had a drop box could this be the problem?
 
Solution
That's what the ICS does though. The ICS PC should be connected to a LAN port on the router, DHCP turned off, and assigned a static IP outside of the range of IP's that ICS will hand out but still in the same subnet.

IE.

If ICS is using 192.168.2.100-192.168.2.255 and that PC has an ICS IP of 192.168.2.1 then set the router to 192.168.2.2 so you can then access the router settings still.



It wont allow me to leave dns as auto and ip as static
 


The dns same as gateway didn't get any internet then tried the google but that also isn't getting any internet while both pc's are in a lan port shouldn't the ics pc go into the internet port of the router though since its supplying?
 


getting ip 192.168.1.1 both the main pc and test when doing ip config get the router it seems but no internet on the test The router page also when I open it says no internet connection to check for updates so there still must be something between the main pc and router.
