Run internet thru a computer then to a wifi router?


Recommended Posts


Yes you can, but in order for this to work properly you will need an OS that knows NAT, Network Address Translation.

EDIT:

On second thought, doesn't the wi-fi router have some sort of firewall embedded?

it does but i would rather be able to determine what websites are blocked and what shouldn't. In the Netgear router I own, in order to block a website i have to block the keyword. It doesn't support block a specific URL.

What OSs are NAT supported?

Assumming I did it though XP, would i be able to turn off the DHCP in the router and manually be able to give all the computers in the network an assigned IP in the subnet 192.168.0.x?

Also, would I still be able to use the 'Server' to printer from over the network?
