Right. I drew a pretty diagram to help me explain what I need to do. This is the problem.
My dad (who lives across the street from me) has brought a broadband connection and a wireless router [Belkin54G] and has given me the key to use his network, instead of using my connection [Which I've terminated the contract with BT because they are s**t].
So my dad lets me use his internet connection from across the street.
Problem is. Only my computer [On Wireless N card] can pick up his signal. He has very kindly given me permission to hook up my xBox360 and Laptop to the connection.
[He has unlimited downloads and I think he is on the highest Virgin Media package]
So here was my idea...
His router is: 192.168.2.1
My wireless connection: 192.168.2.8
Gateway: 192.168.2.1
DNS: 194.168.4.100
DNS: 194.168.8.100
I can use my computer on the internet but I cant share it.
My router is set to: 192.168.0.1
My computer to my [Buffalo] Router: 192.168.0.2
Laptop and xbox are automatic. As I tried manual and it failed.
Here is a diagram to help explain:
Can someone please provide a step by step. The computer is running Windows XP SP3 as is the laptop.
I tried the microsoft site that had videos... Didn't work.

So here was my idea...
- My computer picks up the connection.Through the USB port.
- My router [Buffalo] shares that connection. Through my LAN wireless to my laptop and either wireless or LAN to my xBox360
