Using a wireless router as a Network Client & DHCP

I have an nForce mobo with 2 nics on it. One is currently assigned a DHCP address by the school. The other nic is free. I have a linksys wireless broadband router. Is it possible to set up the linksys router and the spare nic in such a way that I can share the internet connection provided to the school through the spare nic that is attached to the wireless router? Example diagram:



[ GMU ] <-- nVidia nic (DHCP client) --> [ My PC (DHCP Server) ] <---- 3com nic ----> [ linksys router (DHCP Client/Server) ]

Reason being is that I'd like to enable wireless clients to access the internet through the PC. Also, because the school network uses this weird VBS script to login and connect through the network, I can't simply hook the router up to the school's LAN.
 
Either use ICS or just bridge the two network connections, then cat5 to a switched LAN port on your router. Bypass the WAN port completely and I'd generally recommend not using it's DHCP either. Just assign manually or if your going to run ics it will be your DHCP.
