Hi guys,

Im new here, getting frustrated on getting this to work, fortunately I found this site that might help me on my problem.

Summary:
I need to get internet on my desktop which is connected to my laptop which is connected to the access point which is connected to the internet. I need this setup to work without rearranging my topology.

In Depth:

I have two computers, desktop and laptop. Both are connected to the hub using wired connection. Another connection is running on the laptop which is wireless and connected to my access point to reach the internet. I can ping both computers both ways, I can even ping the access point from my desktop but I can't get internet from it but I can get internet from my laptop.

All IP configurations are static

Desktop - connected to hub with one ethernet card using wired connection (NO INTERNET)
note: i can ping laptop and access point from here but no internet
Connection # 1
IP - 192.168.123.15
Subnet - 255.255.255.0
Default Gateway - 192.168.123.12 (Laptop)
note: I can ping the both connection on the laptop and the wireless access point from here but no internet

Laptop - connected to the hub (wired) (WITH INTERNET)
note: i can ping everything from here with internet
Connection # 1
IP - 192.168.123.12
Subnet - 255.255.255.0
Default Gateway - Blank

Connection # 2 - Wireless connected to the Wireless Access Point up to the internet
IP - 192.168.0.44
subnet - 255.255.255.0
default gateway - 192.168.0.1

Wireless access point
Local IP - 192.168.0.1
DNS - 66.75.164.90 (from roadrunner)
Note: This is connected to the internet

Routing and remote services is running on the laptop with default configuration. If not running, I could not ping access point from desktop.

Also routing table on both computers are in default.

you are best off buying a wireless networking bridge device or a router that will allow you to configure it into bridge mode. Then bridge that device to the AP, then run all of your client machines through that bridge device. That is the best way to accomplish what you want with your set up.
