I am going to try to reword my question. I am using a wifi AP at this
apartment complex for my Internet service. I have two computers, a
D-link router, a PAP2

AP------- desktop computer wifi card

                |_ _ _ _ NIC_ _ _
                                 |_ _ _ _ Router
                                                |_ _ _ _ PAP2

The PCI wifi card would pick up the signal from the AP. Somehow I need
to get it back to the other NIC card and from there to the router and
PAP2. Is there anyway of doing this.

Thank you, Tim

I'm sorry but you haven't given enough info in this post to answer your
question.

In theory yes, you would enable ICS on the desktop and as long as the
desktop was on and working it would route the internet to the second NIC and
on to the router and the PAP2.

Or you could buy a wireless router that would act as a client to the
Wireless AP and bypass the desktop altogether.

ICS should work as long as the desktop Wi-Fi card is not using an IP address
in 192.168.0.xxx space. It will configure the wired NIC to 192.168.0.1 It
will work for the Internet, as to voip that would depend on the voip
service, and how well you understand it. It's a lot less likely to work
without some tweaking.

Your best chance to get this to work, would be two wireless routers that
support voip, and one of the wireless routers acting as a client to the
other. Or the voip box plugged into the first AP, and wires run from it to
the phones. Biggest problem would be getting the phone to ring when you are
called, (routing the data correctly) Hope that helps.
