Clayton,

It would really be better for everybody if you could connect the 4 computers, as
peers, directly, to the WiFi LAN. BUT, if you can't, and IFF the WiFi LAN
doesn't use subnet 192.168.0/24, then you can use ICS to share service on the
host, thru the router. You setup the router as the second router in my
scenario.

You enable ICS on the host, or you run the Network Setup Wizard, and select the
first option:
This computer connects directly to the Internet. The other computers on my
network connect to the Internet through this computer.

Make sure that you identify the Ethernet connection as the one that you will
share thru.
