connecting two networks

Computer A which has 2 nics is networked with computer B (laptop) via a wireless router. Computer A connects to the router with a network cable, while B uses a wireless pc card. Computer A is also networked with computer C via a hub. As the router has ip address of 192.168.0.1, computers A (first nic) and B have ip addresses of 192.168.0.xxx. The second network has ip addresses of 192.168.1.xxx. Is there any way that computers B and C can be networked in the current setup without having to connect computer C to the router? All computers have w2k os.

You have to set up computer A (with the two NIC's) to bridge the two networks. This will not be easy (for home use) and will be a slow solution to your problem. However, if you still want to try, take a look here: http://www.homenethelp.com/web/howto/windows-xp-bridge.asp
good luck! (you'll need it :-P )

Thanks Khalid. But I guess bridging works only with xp. Unfortunately I only have w2k on all my computers. I was hoping I could somehow reconfigure my hardware.
