Did you set up Internet Connection Sharing on one adapter and, if so, which. ICS should be running on the web connection (in your case, the DSL. How is it connected to the PC, by USB?) ICS will then act as a DHCP server to assign IP numbers to the rest of the equipment on your network. What I'm not sure about is if you can do this 'three-way.' Typcally, ICS assigns the WiFi adapter 192.168.0.1 and it becomes the Gateway for all the wireless equipment connected to it (in your case the PPC). However, I assume the switch is there to connect other PCs and for it to be sharing, the NIC it is connected to would also need to be 192.168.0.1 so it could act as a Gateway. Maybe someone else will chime in that this is possible but I think it's beyond the capabilities of ICS.

hello ikehiker, thank God im talking to the master :)
my dsl is connected thru LAn card, the switch is also thru lan card. i guess it cant go on three way since as u discussed this is some ip conflict problem.. il try to give the wifi a different ip and make the 0.1 its gateway. ohh well.. thx ikehiker. but if can think of something else please share it thanks

I'm pretty frugal (aka cheap :) ) and try to get the most out of my computer equipment but sometimes it's easier just to upgrade. In your case, I would get a wireless router, hook it up to the DSL modem and have everything else connected to it. If the PPC is the only wireless equipment, you could make due with an 802.11b router which you should be able to find at a fairly low cost.

Ike,
Thats what i've been doing to my server. Im trying to make the least cost i could to make things work thats why i settled to get an adhoc host. I just hope i can figure it out before i could put some precious bucks for a wireless router thanks for help man.

The way that I would do it is to bridge together the LAN connections (wifi and switch) first and then configure ICS on the DSL and share it with the bridge connection.
How is the IP configured on each interface?
