The Scene:

I have two computers, two of them are connected by wire to a router.
One computer is so remote it can't get a wire to the router hence no internet connection on that one.

The Issue:

I have been thinking to use two wireless network cards to build a proxy connetion between the remote machine and one of the machines with a internet connection.

The Question:

Is is possible to build a connection like this with two wireless cards?

Will this give the remote machine access to the internet though the other machine?

Is it easy?

The better option is to buy one wireless access point and one wireless card. Plug the access point into the router and run it as close as you can to the remote computer via a cat5 cable. That way you will have less stuff in the way to cause intreference. Interference slows the connection down. That is the most straight foward and easiest way to accomplish what you want.

Doing it the other way can be done. But it requies some finesse.

This is a expensive sollution to buy a accesspoint + a network card.
It cheaper to get two network cards.

The two network cards is just a temporary sollution until I upgrade all computers to a wireless network with at wireless router.

I'm not looking for staggering preformance just a cheap sollution for now.
But I have been told you can connect two computers like that with only two network cards.
