I think you're talking in Klingon lol

Are you saying that I've been trying to do the wrong thing?

I think I might buy a 1" x 1' drill bit and go through a wall. Put an ethernet cable through it and buy a cheap switch!

I'm happy to try anything else you can suggest.

Just so you understand what I'm trying to do; I know I'm not making your job easy, I made a quick diagram.

edit 1: the router is in my son's nursery. A cable would have to go across 2 door ways and 2 rooms. The floors are marble so I can't hide them under carpet etc. I'm in a rented condo so loathe to drill holes.... having said that, is is only a plasterboard wall and how noticeable is a small hole anyway.......

edit 2: didn't spot your edit.

Will try sharing the wifi.

Thanks for all your help. Really appreciated.

For you

Let's see if I can explain it better (my explanation did suck!).
You haven't been doing the wrong thing. It is just that there is an easier way to do this! (Without drilling through your wall).

Keep wireless for internet access on the second PC and disable it on the first PC (so you should only have the wired NIC enabled on the first PC).
On the second PC, you should have both wired NIC and wireless enabled. The wireless will be the gateway to the internet (as it stands currently).

What you need to do is connect the two PCs together via cable, as you are doing - but then enable Internet Connection Sharing on the PC with wireless enabled. What will happen here is that the first PC will get to the internet via the second PC, which will get to the internet via wireless.

For all other communication, the two PCs will talk over the wire.

See the edits in my post smile.gif

So your network will go like this:

PC 1 (wired) -> PC 2 (wired AND wireless) -> Wireless -> Router -> Internet.

And that's it! No drilling. Do not go past go. Do not collect $200 smile.gif

No problem smile.gif
The PC doing the internet sharing basically acts like the NAT on your router, except that instead of masquerading a public IP address, it masquerades the internal IP of the PC doing the sharing.

Here's how IP masquerading works (if you're interested): http://www.billauer.co.il/ipmasq-html.html
And here's the book you requested earlier: http://www.amazon.com/Networking-Dummies-Sixth-Edition-Doug/dp/0764516779

I've read the masquerading and it kind of made sense... I've also ordered the For Dummies book.

Sharing the internet worked really well and was super-simple to set up.

I've reversed it though, having the second PC have the wifi connection. The second PC's on more so I can turn off my sig rig and save some $'s on the elec. bill instead of needing my sig rig to be on.

Great! Yep, internet connection sharing is super easy indeed. The link I posted was doing the same thing with iptables on Linux, but concept is the same (NAT).
Have fun with the book...

Oh and also you can throw a switch in there and put as many PCs through the shared connection as you want smile.gif
