Weird network question...

Post by Jagger »

Is it possible to forward the packets you receive on one NIC(PCMCIA wireless) to the built in ethernet port on a laptop? OS is Win2k. I've never run across this before, but someone just asked me if it's possible. Thanks in advance if you know the answer. :D

Hmm.. So in My Network Places, highlight the two connections, right click and select Bridge Connections, or something to that effect?
