Vista - multiple networks

I have a small network of 3 pcs:
pc1 (xp) -> lan (cable) -> pc2 (vista) -> wlan -> pc3 (vista) -> internet

I got stuck at pc1->pc2

It's really easy to setup in xp: my networkplace -> setup a home or small office network:
On pc1 choose "This Computer Connects To The Internet Through Another Computer On My Network Or Through A Residential Gateway "
on pc2 choose "This Computer Connects Directly To The Internet ", then choose the wireless card which connect pc2 and pc3.

I just installed vista yesterday, and it drives me crazy. I can't find "setup a home or small office network." I also tried "Allow other network users to connect through this computer's Internet connection" on pc2, but vista combined all the networks, and stop sharing internet between pc2 and pc3.

Is there a way to fix it, or should i reinstall xp on pc2?

Thanks!

Easiest way is connect a switch to the wlan. You connect both computers to the switch on the same subnet. Otherwise, you need two distinct networks. You can get switches very cheap. My network

cable modem to router

My Vista workstation is on the router

I connect the router to the switch in the basement with CAT 6 pleum grade because I am going through the cold air reuturn from 2nd floor to basement. The switch connects the Fedora 7 and XP Pro SP2 boxes in basement. All three are on same subnet then. In Windows firewall, you setup your file and print sharing advanced rules to allow same subnet only.

Hi Linksys,

You need to share the Vista connection comming from the XP machine again before the 3rd PC can access the internet via the Vista machine or bridge the LAN/WLAN connection on the Vista PC.

My Laptop it seems to have this problem now with my friends internet router and we have tried unplugging it and everything and it still wont connect to the internet but will connect to router.But when I go and try to connect to the internet,it says multiple networks and then it calls my friends network unidentified but I think i messed the signal up myself by trying to connect to the router in the view full map in the network and sharing when the internet was down 1day.
