Linksys WRT54GS as a client












1















I have a PC which I have connected to a public Access Point via a RALINK dongle.
Now I want to connect my Linksys Router on this PC which the router will consider as the gateway and provide internet to other stations in the house through the Linksys router.



How can this be done in Windows 7? I mean connect my router on an Ethernet port on the PC and allow other stations to go through it in the house?
