The way I used to use it was I had a DSL connection coming into one NIC on a PC and then the second NIC was connected to a hub. All other computers were connected to that hub. The second NIC on the first PC would assign IP addresses to the machines that were connected to the hub. It's pretty much like using the PC as a router. In Keyser's case, the incoming connection will be the wireless card and the outgoing connection will be the NIC. He needs a x-over cable because he's leaving out the hub.
