    2 NICs, one with internet. No internet.
    This is the setup:
    I have two computers, a router, and a hub.
    Computer 1: Connected to the router wirelessly, Connected to to the hub with cat5.
    Computer 2: Connected to the hub with cat5.

    This is the problem:
    With both the wired and wireless connection enabled, I have no internet access. It seems like the computer is attempting to get internet from the wired connection.
    If there were some setting such as "Connect to internet through this connection:" that would be ideal.

    Information:
    If I disable the wired connection, I have internet.
    Whether I have the wireless connection enable or not, I have access to computer 2.

    The goal:
    Computer 1: Able to connect to internet, communicate with computer 2
    Computer 2: Able to communicate with computer 1 (no internet)

    Thanks for the help! :D

    Lets start with this:

    Post a printout of the command "netstat -rn" when the wired is disabled and when the wired is enabled. I think that will give us a clue to your problem.

    If you are using a standard wireless router, there should be 4 wired ports on the router. Connect Computer 2 directly to the router, that should fix your problem.

    Your setup won't work, because the hub doesn't allow for sharing.
