ICS Networking Question

I just moved into a new apt and found a wireless signal to use for internet. I have a roommate without a wireless card that would like internet access too.

Here is what I tried:

I connected to the wireless network with a good signal.
I ran an ethernet cable from my NIC card to a Linksys Wireless Access Point Router B into the WAN port. Then from the first port of the router I ran an ethernet cable to my friends computer. Then I enabled ICS on my wireless connection. It seems when I get done enabling my LAN connection and sharing the wireless connection that I no longer get internet but I am connected to him.

The wireless connection appears to stay connected but when I enable ICS on the wireless connection I cannot get internet. Why?

Also, what IP address would the router be at?
 
Make sure ther is no IP address conflict. The xp ics machine will give itself an immutable 192.168.0.1 which might be the ip address of the router you're connected to. In that case you can't do the sharing. If you have a wireless router that's capable of doing a client connection you can connect to that AP and share the connection via its ethernet jacks
