I found that Windows was not sure which NIC had the internet connection and which was 'internal'. By trial and error I found that by disconnecting and reconnecting the cable to the nic (I think it was the internet connected one that did it) windows was able to figure out where the requests for internet pages should go. Once I had the internet working locally on the AP computer, I was able to connect to the internet wirelessly through ControlAP.
This was frustrating because everything was set up correctly, but the AP computer just wasn't figuring it out. There may be some settings that could be employed instead of this work-around, but I am not familiar with them.
Best of luck! -Dan

Have you actually got it to work? I'm spinning my wheels here.
I'm able to assign a DHCP address to the wireless
workstation through it, but can't seem to get it to
route through it properly. Am I missing something? Also, I don't seem to have the Hotspot Page.

I'm running an AP with it now. It sees very little
traffic, but it appears to be working. I have no idea how secure it
is overall, but it was the most direct route for me to share my
bandwidth.

hi David, You might want to take a peek at this software: http://www.controlap.com/index.html
I'm not affiliated with control AP, but i've
played a bit with the software and it looks very interesting.
Good Luck, -Lee
