Sorry, I posted this in the network forum a while back and got no replies whatsoever, so I'm gonna try it here.
I have DSL coming in to my modem, which is hooked to a router / wireless AP, which is hardlined to one computer and radio'd to two more. The hardwired one I'll call computer 4, one wireless (mine) I'll call 1, the other I'll call 3. If I hook another computer to mine with the intent of hosting (which I'll call computer 2), it doesn't get a NAT address from the router, it just gets an ICS address from my computer (192.168.0.xxx). The subnets and workgroup are the same. I can ping computer 4 from 2, but not 2 from 4. I can ping 1 from 2, and 2 from 1. I can ping the modem from 2, but not 2 from the modem. The way I'm seeing it is there's a public internet. Then there's a public network at my house. And finally there's a private network inside that public one. The reason I say there's a public network is, if I enable NAT, anyone on the internet can then ping my computer, and vice versa. I need help making the private network part of the public one.
