I got a home wireless network, 1 wireless router and PC1 and PC2 connect it by wireless. I also got a xbox360 and network printer. If I use PCI to act as ICS host to connect a switch/hub and the switch/hub connect to the xbox360 and network printer, can PC2 access the printer or not?? If can, what's the method, thank you.
What is seems that you want to do is allow PC2 to passthrough PC1's adapter to adapter. I think that there is a registy edit to allow that in normal situations. Not sure it would work with ics.
You either have to have a standard layer two connection ro add in a bridge or router or another device to connect the two lans.
I might misunderstand what you have also.
I read it wrong and answer it wrong too. So get off my case you goober.
Yap..Don't need to enable ICS since you already have router. If you feel that router's 4 ports are not enough for your usage, you can expand the network by connecting the router to the switch, and then connect the network printer or Xbox to the switch. If not you can just connect the Xbox and network printer to the router's ports directly.
The 2 PCs can still connect to router wirelessly. This way it will work.
