I have several comps connected to server with an internet connection. I am using ICS.

Q, If I add a wireless card to the server so the server can connect with the notebook, will ICS function over this connection.

Or, if the wireless card was inside one of the users of the server could that connection be shared with the wireless connection.

Cheers.

Both would work.

In case of a conncetion between the Laptop and a client computer you would need to Bridge the conncetion (you need WinXP Pro to be able to bridge).

The Wireless hould be configured in Ad-Hoc mode.

I do not know why you configure with software NAT. In generall a sub $20 Wireless Cable/DSL Router would perform better and your Network and Wireless would more stable.
