[PLUG] Can XP do ip forwarding?

["George Gallen" <ggallen@slackinc.com>]

Title: Can XP do ip forwarding?

Know how you can tell linux to ip forward packets from one NIC to anther NIC and vice versa?

Here's the scoop. I have a laptop with one wireless NIC and one wired NIC
I'm going on business, where they have a wireless access, not not wired access.

I want to hookup up my vonage adapter to the wired NIC in the laptop, and have it be able
    dhcp, and send/receive via the wireless NIC.

At home, I have the vonage adapter hooked to a wireless gaming adapter to hook into
    my home wireless, but I'd rather keep the gadgets to a minimum, and not have to
    reprogram the gaming adapter for a new SSID/network key.

Last time I played with bridging, I couldn't use the wireless adapter for the laptop.

Is this possible on XP? or is this one of those linux things that has been around for
years, yet MS doesn't seem to think it's useful?
