First off I apologize for posting here, I have searched all over and cannot find my answer. I have a windows vista laptop that is connected wirelessly to a wifi location. I want to be able to share this connection via a wrt54g router to my desktop as well as 1 hard wired xbox console and then wireless to another xbox console.

Before all I did was check the box that said "share this computers internet connection" and that was it. Now I cant even get that to work. All I did before was try an set up the laptop as a "router" for my xbox and it worked so I thought why not try and use the wifi recieved from the laptop and share it with the router so that I can use the above.

So I've managed to look all over and can not find the answer I seek. This is what Im trying to do:

1. Laptop that has a wireless connection
2. Have that connection routed through the laptop via ethernet cord to routers "internet" port.
3. Router then allows for internet access across its 4 ports which 2 are used. Desktop and xbox console.
4. Have the wireless portion of the router to send out a signal that my wirelss xbox will be able to use for xbox live.


All this im trying to do prior to the servers back up so my wife and I can enjoy ffxi once again. Any help in this matter is greatly appreciated. Im sorry this isnt game related but, I do hope some of you in the ffxi or ffxiv community are a bit more tech savvy then myself.
