I have dsl but my system runs slow because of how far I am out from the central station. I was wondering if there was any way to get my computer downloading thing of the net faster. Somedays even the downloading of pages of the internet is so slow I can't even use the internet. thanks

Here's my layout: Dial-up internet connection->computer with ICS (call it C1)->wireless switch->wireless nic in computer C2. Now, I want to connect computer C3 to C2 with a simple cross-over cable. I've played with routing & remote access and got it to work so that they're all on the same network segment by setting up a static route in C2 that uses it's regular nic interface to forward ip traffic to C3. I can't remember all the details, as I'm not near the machine, but I remember that I could ping all 3 machines in the network, all while on the same segment this way, but for some reason, C2 & C3 couldn't map a network drive to C1...in other words, if c3 has static ip address 192.168.0.3, I can run "\\192.168.0.3\c$" from C2, and the folder pops up as expected (after entering the correct u\n, pwd). However, if c1 has ip address 192.168.0.1, I can't remember the wording, but I get an error message when running "\\192.168.0.1\c$" from C2, even though I can ping C1 just fine and C2 has internet access through C1's ICS. Any ideas what's going on? I tried setting up ICS on machine 2, but since ics defaults to 192.168.0, it doesn't let me have two separate segments with the same address. (btw, I tried this out of desperation, fully expecting it to not work ;)) Anybody know an easy way to do this other than buying either a new wireless nic or access point?
