Network sharing

[weronpc]

This is little confusing,

I have 3 computers.

first computer called ComputerA, with 2 network cards
sec computer called Computer B, with 2 network cards
third computer called Computer C, with 1 network card

ComputerA is the server (win xp), connects directly to the internet (ADSL)

I am able to share the ComputerA's internet connect with Comuter B (using bridge connection)

Is it posible to share ComputerB's connection with ComputerC???

Thank you all so much...

I don't see why not. Just use connection sharing with computerB but instead of having it connect tell it that it is directly connected to the net through a lan (which will be provided by computerA) and thus can be passed to computerC. But I have never tried this, but I can't see a reason that it wouldn't work.

Should be possible, but why not just buy a switch and have added capacity for computer D :D

Yeah you can pick up a router real cheap and and 4 ports to network. Or even opt for the wireless if your loaded!

Now I got computer A, B and C connected and they all can talk to each other, but I can't get computer C go out side the LAN.

Anyway, thanx for your help, I will buy a router instead.. :D

Routers also add security to your network. Mine atleast came with a built in firewall.

The only real reason to use a bridge in todays electronic society is if you want to use a server/workstation as a proxy or firewall, as most switchs/routers today have tansceiver ports or transceivers available. Even then, using a switch or router would be a better option. To do what you are wanting to do, you might want to invest in a router and connect your router to the current bridge card in the server. After that connect all the other pc's (B, C and, later, D) on your network to the router.
