Desktop internet connection through Laptop wifi {how?}


Recommended Posts

I have been hooked up to my internet on my desktop PC since i started playing LCPDFR.... recentlyi went over to a friends house and when i came back the internet is always yellow on the desktop meaning i cant go online. My desktop and my laptop are windows 7. sooo im asking for a FULL tutorial on how to set up the internet sharing as it seems i have jacked something up and id rather not go but a little wifi thing for my computer.... so someone please help! and remember... start to finish tutorial starting with "go to the start button"

Don't use Internet Connection Sharing here. You should have a router, and pretty much every home-grade router contains a wireless access point. In that setup, there is no need for Internet Connection Sharing.

He's saying go and buy a Wireless USB card, ICS will only work if you AD HOC the computers.

 

And you wont get it to work through your laptop's wireless, cos as soon as you plug in the LAN, all web browsers will prefer LAN over WiFi.

 

If you still want to try, plug the LAN cable in to each, and then on your Laptop open up the network adapters page and right click the LAN connection and select Bridge, and it should let you select the WiFi connection.

That's an unusual setup, to say the least. What are you looking for here? A way to tether the laptop to the desktop via short Ethernet cable?

Exactly.... unfortunantly this one doesnt list all the steps.... like i said... up until i went to my friends house it has worked GREAT! and i was able to use my laptop on the internet the same time as the desktop.... so none of that the internet wont work because it will select just lan now not wifi.

A Wireless N router can reach that distance in a modern house, or you can always set up some repeaters. And oh no! $25? The horror!

yes the horror... i have no job so that would run me $150 and my house is not modern it was built in the late 50's and is very long. i did end up buying the USB wifi thing and i get 1 bar.... waste of money...

Better bust out the lemonade stand then. Tech stuff costs money, dude. PC gaming is a very expensive habit. I just dropped close to a grand on a PC overhaul, and I'm not exactly thrilled about losing all of my tax refund in the course of two weeks.
