Hi all,

I have a laptop with a WLAN card and a wireless AP and they work fine. Attached to the laptop by a crossover cable is another box which gets on with the laptop fine. The problem comes when the other box tries to speak to the wider Internet via the laptop. I can see the light flashing on the WLAN card which suggests it's trying, I just get nothing back.

Ideas anyone?

Presumably the laptop is able to connect to the internet itself. What routing capability does the laptop have set up to be able to route the box's requests through to the internet and route the responses back to the box?
