I currently have 4 PCs connected to an ntl cable modem via a belkin cable router and everything works fine. Now this may sound odd but i would like to have one of the PCs connect "through" another pc before it even gets to the router so rather than connecting directly to the router and onto the internet it connects through the other pc then onto the router.. if that makes sense? Cant seem to work out any way to do it though

Think this should work:

Install 2nd network card in the "host" PC. Connect it to network card in the "slave" via X-over cable. Enable Internet Connection Sharing on the host. Slave PC should be able to talk to the router via its host PC as if it was talking directly to the net.

Why do you need to do it this way ? Seems an odd requirement unless you need the middle PC to do filtering of some sort.
