I'm traveling in my RV. I have an wifi internet conection on my lap top that I would like to share the internet connection with a desk top compute at the same time. Wife works on one computer I work on the other. How do I accomplish this.

The simplest is with an ethernet cross-over cable connected between the two machines, and turning on "Internet Connection Sharing" on the laptop.

You have to configure the PC's (that have Internet connection only) "C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc\networks" file so that it will act as a DNS server.

Introuduce the both Ethernets network address in that file.

For example,
Middle Desktop-Pc have 2 Net Cards.

Internet(172.14.13.2)(172.14.13.3)PC-Desktop(172.14.14.4)(172.14.14.5)Notebook

Step1: Now add this two networks(172.14.13.0 & 172.14.14.0)in the Desktop-Pc's "C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc\networks" file.

Step 2: Desktop-PC side Net card that is connected with your Notebook, go the TCP/IP configuration Properties, use (172.14.13.3) as a DNS and gateway address also.From Advanced TCP/IP Settings make this gateway priority 1.

Step 3: Notebook net Card, go the TCP/IP configuration Properties, use (172.14.13.3) as a DNS and gateway (172.14.14.4) address also.

hi dudes,
sharing one internet connection b/w r among computers, there is one solution provided u must have a hub.
u just download winproxy and install it on one computer and follow the instructions given by the software.
i think u cannot share internet using p2p.

You need to enable WEP or WPA on your wireless connection. That means a password or key will be required to be able to use your wireless.

Hi people
From my point of view i think router is the best. Because it has a fire wall in it and its very easy to configure. You just have to plug your computer's eithernet wire in to the router and you have to use the link which is given in their manual. Like http://192.168.2.3........... and when configure your router using that link , then you will be able to use internet in to your computer very easily.

How do I make the internet sharing for windows 2000 Advanced Server Domain to other clients computer on the network by using 4 ports switch. I assigned all the computer with static IP. They all are connecting and i can get access on files, drives on my network, but when I used the server to dial through the ISP using 56K moden I enable the internet sharing on the modem but the client computer doesn't have internet. How could I make this work for everything computer? Do i need to buy Router instead of Switch to be able to do that kind of work?
