Hi, i have two NICs in my PC which connects to the internet, NIC#1 plugs into the modem,
now i want NIC#2 to connect to my wireless Router, and give internet access wirelessly to my laptop, is that possible? how do i go about doing that?
i want my pc to give internet to router, not from modem modem directly.

It won't work that way. You should connect Modem to WAN port of router and then PCs connect wired to lan port of router or wireless.
I used to have a signature but it disappeared and I just couldn't be bothered writing another so please feel free to ingore this.

You have asked this question once before adha.
If you dont like the answer it is not going to change if you ask the question again.
What you are trying to do can be made to work but it is cumbersome and problamatic and would require some understand of network configuration to set up. You are not going to find the instructions on how to do it in any manual becasue it is a non-standard way of doing things.
Use the router in the way it was designed to be used. The manual will show you how.
