I have a network setup like:
network---computer1---hub---computer2
The internet connection for computer2 is from another ethernet card on computer1. I am wanting computer2 to be able to fileshare with the rest of the network and not just computer1. Is there anyway to do that with my current configuration? Thanks

Matt, I assume your setup is such that "computer1" has two NICs, is directly connected to your LAN and is sharing that connection via Internet Connection Sharing (ICS). As such, it appears you want "computer2" to share files with computers on a different subnet...is that correct? And which OS is "computer2" using?
