Problem: Trying to network 3 Computers together, to both be able to access the internet from any terminal and view each terminal from another.

Current Network Setup:
-----
Cable Modem --CAT5-- Netgear MR814 Wireless Router --CAT5-- Computer #1

--Wifi Signal-- Computer #2

Computer #2 --CAT5 Crossover-- Computer #3
-----
I can get all networked easily, and have done so. I can get Internet on Computer #1 and Computer #2

However I cannot get internet on computer #3, When i try to enable Internet Sharing on Computer #2 I get the error message:

An Error Occured while Internet Connection Sharing was being enabled.

Internet Connection Sharing cannot be enabled.
A LAN connection is already configured with the IP Address that is required for automatic IP addressing.

I realize that some where along the line my routers DHCP is assigning a machine the IP address that I need. Any help on how to proceed to fixing this problem would be much obliged.
 
So Computer #2 has 2 network cards installed correct? If so, bridge the two network cards together (If running windows xp) and everything should work fine!
 
Well not exactly...

Computer #2 has a Network Card (Integrated) and then it has a PCI Wireless Network Adapter
 
What you have is two layers of NAT, not a good practice.

chang your router IP address to something other then 192.168.0.1. this is the ip address windows uses for ICS.
 
No, just bridge the connections as already mentioned. Don't try to run ICS and double NAT.
