OK here is the thing. I have a wireless connection and no way to hook the Gamecube up with a cord. So My computer is hooked up using a wireless Linksys Hub, and that is upstairs. I am wanting to know if it is possible to use the other netcard(Ethernet) card as a router for my Gamecube. I am currently running Windows XP, and I know everything I need to know about it....Except this...
Thanks for all of the input that is given to me.

BTW I was able to get online with PSO at my dads house via cord from modem...

I hope you have a gamecube BBA. If you already have a router in your network, I'd just bridge the wireless and ethernet connections in windows XP. That's like a hub, but not a router. Probably need crossover (not patch) cable between gamecube and computer. If bridging the connection doesn't work, you'll have to use ICS. I'm no good at that :3

ok, well Ill try to bridge it. Someone also mentioned setting up the NON wireless connector(broadband) to have a private port for the gamecube, and he was a great help, but I have had no luck with that so far. Well, im gonna give this 30 more mins, then ICS I will try.

Another thing....What is a crossover connector thingy. I hear alot about that just never figured out that the thing is.

Gotta use crossover cable between PC and GC, or else data won't flow in the correct direction. Crossover cat5e ethernet cable, nyao.
