Welcome to AnandTech's Networking Forum.

Configure the Router including the Wireless from the wired computer.

After the Wireless part of the Router is configured, set the Wireless computer.

Once the computers are capable to connect to the Internet take care of the sharing.

Successful Sharing involves some general consideration in Network settings, http://www.ezlan.net/sharing.html

As well as specific adjustment of each computer according to what it is allowed to be shared.
