Hi,
Because I need to share my Openweb VPN connection, I have done the following:

a) set aside a computer to act as the SERVER
b) connected an ADSL modem to the computer
c) connected a second network card to the computer
d) assigned 192.168.0.1 as the IP of that second network card
e) connected the network card to the WAN port on the wireless router which is on IP address 192.168.1.1
f) (and I use freeproxy to share my internet VPN connection over the wifi)

My problem is now as follows:
My server has IP: 192.168.0.1
All other computers on the wireless has IP addresses: 192.168.1.x

So now, my shared PRINTER and FILES on the server can not be seen by the other computers on the wifi.
Am I setting something up wrong. Is there a way around this problem?

Thanks
 
Set the wireless router's DHCP to hand out IP's in the 192.168.0.x range,seeing as you're using a proxy and not Internet Connection Sharing
