I have 3 PC's connected with a wired router, I'm trying to connect a wireless laptop to the internet. I bought a Edimax USB netword adaper from OCUK and connected it to one of the PC's, I thought I could just use the internet sharing thingy like I could in Windows XP, I'm now using Windows 7 on all computers and havent got a clue how to set this up. Could anyone help me with this?
 
You don't need to use ICS at all. Just bridge the wireless and wired interfaces on the machine with the wireless adapter and the wired connection to the router and you're done.

Thanks for the reply pal :) Can you walk me through the process? Not sure how to do it with Windows 7, it was simple with XP.

edit: I think I figured it out, thanks :)

Select the two in Network Connections (you can even just type that into the start menu search box), right click, bridge connections. If anything, it's easier than XP.
