Now, after a successful connection with the wireless router...in its connection properties, the last tab to the right, will be an option to let other network computers access and/or control this connection, so you will need to share it... While for the Ethernet connection, I doubt computer B to give DHCP, so easier will be either of two: 1. put IP manually in the LA Connection which is very close to that of the router and computer A(Computer A needs a manual configuration also). 2. put IP manually in the LA Connection with a different class( I mean, if you have the router 192.168.1.1 you need computer B to be 192.168.2.1 and A is 192.168.2.2) so you have NAT and this way there will be no conflict;;;;;; I doubt this works...
