I have 3 computers and one ethernet-cable-vpn-router (Linksys befvp41)

One of my computers (WinXP) is able to connect to the internet from another wireless connection, but the other 2 can't.

I thought, since I had a router, would I be able to use my wireless-connected computer as a WAN entry for my router? It would look like the following:

wireless
~~~~~~~~~> [computer 1] ------> [Router]---->computer 2
                                    |
                                    -------->computer 3

I'm lost here. What devices do you actually have involved here? It seems you're looking to do something which should already be possible without sharing the connection through a PC. In your diagram, you have the one router directly connected to the computers you're trying to share with - why does this not currently serve your needs? Is the wireless AP actually built-in to a separate device you're not mentioning? Are you trying to share connection to a "piggybacked" wireless network? If the former, please update your question. If the latter, well... – Iszi Rory or Isznti May 25 '11 at 19:29

Look into ICS (Internet Connection Sharing)

Here's a starting point:

Windows XP: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/306126

Windows Vista/7 http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-vista/Using-ICS-Internet-Connection-Sharing

It`s easy, just mark the two connection and right click and make bridge. Then you are up running.
