Anyone know how to do the IP forwarding trick using Vista?

I wanna use Vista as a router so computers on my LAN can get the internet through a Wireless network.

My Vista PC is connected to both networks.

Netsh don't seem to recognise the commands "routing" or "nat", doh.

I guess maybe use the bridge connections option, but I never really liked that.

Thanks.

If you want to use it as a router then you don't use IP forwarding, that's something you use on a firewall to allow traffic in. You will want to use the routing tables. Open a command prompt window and type:

route /?

for a command syntax or use the windows help.
