    Does the PC already have internet access with the current configuration?

    You may need a switch or router for this to work correctly.

    Generally what you get is something like this:

    ... CPE/AP/Wireless > Wireless Devices
    ... /
    Internet/WAN > Router > Switch
    ... \
    ... Wired Computers/Devices


    What you said in your post would look something like this:

    Internet/WAN > Router > Computer/Devices > CPE/AP/Wireless > Wireless Devices

    Which is entirely possible, but kind of the hard way of doing things.

    Your computer would have to have 2 lan cards, DHCP, DNS Forwarding, internet sharing and maybe a couple of other things. Basically you would be running a mini subnet from the PC which would in turn be preforming server functions. Kind of overkill if you ask me.
