To share the Internet, you need a routing protcol like NAT (Network Address Translation) or ICS (Internet Connection Sharing).

Windows comes with ICS built in, but you have to enable it on the nework card that connects to your Internet. Here's more info: http://technet2.microsoft.com/Windo...7d4a-4545-851a-6bf28e3f2a4d1033.mspx?mfr=true

ICS should be enabled on the host (server) computer and it will change your address (local network card) to 192.168.0.1 with a subnet of 255.255.255.0. Once ICS is working, you'll need to change your client computer's gateway and DNS to 192.168.0.1.
