I've got a new configuration going on here. I was forced to because of problems with our ISP and now instead of having just a router, I need a modem and a router.

Setup is:

One cable wire, split into two
One goes to Modem
One goes to router
My PC is in modem
All other PC's are wireless and on wireless router.

2 different IP addresses

Somehow, I need to be able to share my 200Gb drive to the rest of the PC's in my house. Hopefully this is possible.

Thanks in advance for the help.
 
Put a second NIC in your machine that is directly connected to the internet. Hook that computer up to the switch on your internal network, the router.

Enable file sharing for whatever protocol you want to use and don't use a gateway IP if you use TCP/IP. Disable file sharing on the WAN interface. You can also use another protocol like IPX or NetBEUI. In that circumstance just delete TCP/IP on that box and enable file and printer sharing on it. You'd obviously have to install the non tcp/ip protocol on the other boxes.
