I'm not quite sure how to implement the following. Any help would be appreciated.

I need to share an internet connection with 5 other computers in an office. Computer A is connected to the internet via a wireless card via static IP from a wireless router (computer IP is 192.168.1.3, router IP is 192.168.1.1). Computer A is ALSO connected to a LAN via a switch (cat5) which also holds the other 5 computers (LAN IP of computer A is 192.168.0.7 STATIC). Computers B-F (also attached to mentioned switch) also are static with IP's 192.168.0.1 - 192.168.0.5).

I've read about ICS, but it says that by using ICS it will change my Computer A's LAN IP to 192.168.0.1. I can't do this due to that IP already being in use by one of the B-F computers above. Seems my main problem is the IP layout of everything involved (which cannot be changed).

I had 'Winroute' working fine, but a bug in the software prevents email (outlook express) from working properly due to Symantic AV Corp Edition's email protection feature (that can not be disabled).

I'm a little confused about the 'BRIDGE' feature of XP. Would that work in my situation of the given static IP's?

Is there any other 'software' NAT/ROUTER software that anyone's used that would suit my purpose (AND have email work properly). I actually would like to use a software solution so I could easily 'kill' the interent sharing to the other computers if needed.

Thanks for any help or thoughts!

Umm......you'll excuse me for pointing out the obvious but.........You could very easily take the PC with 192.168.0.1 and change it's IP to 192.168.0.6 and then enable ICS on PC A. You would also have to change the router's IP address as well in order to keep it in the same subnet (I would use 192.168.0.250).

Also, you setup makes little or no sense. You should have it looking as follows:

Router >> Switch >> All Clients.

Didn't explain too well, sorry. The actual router is in another building across the street (hence the wireless connection to computer A). Computer A is the only one connected to the router (wireless). The other computers are connected to Computer A also via hardwire.

Ok, that makes more sense now. My idea about changing IP's is still valid.
