If I understand what you want to do you should set your wireless
connection as default and turn on ICS on the Ethernet NIC on your
laptop. This is not a situation where you would want the connections
bridged. Also, don't forget to route the appropriate ports through from
the Ethernet NIC.

Subject: [accesscomp] Turning my Laptop into a Wireless Router
Okay here's a complicated one, at least for me. Thought I would ask all
my friends here because I'm desperate.
I'm going in a week or so to a location where their will be only a
wireless internet connection available. I need to attach my IP phone to
the Ethernet port of my Windows XP based laptop so I can work. I
thought of bringing my own router and trying to configure it as an
access point but, I'm not sure I could make that work so this seems like
the safest way. I'm sure open to ideas.
I have been trying to use internet connection sharing or network
bridging under XP but, then it won't connect to the wireless network any
more, maybe because I think you need three adapters, one with internet
connection sharing enabled, and the other two for the bridge. Am I
wrong about that? Bridging only seems to work when you are using a
wired internet connection. There has to be an easy way to accomplish
this. Thanks in advance for any thoughts and feel free to write me
privately.
