    Setting up my Laptop as wifi hotspot using datacard


    I have Hp pavilion dv5 1002 au Laptop that has a wifi adapter but after having done all things i am unable to create a virtual wifi hotspot so that my other devices like my android phone and ipod can connect to the inernet wirelessly. The internet access on my pc is through usb mobile broadband dongle. Please suggest a wayahead.

    In order for the hosted wireless network to work you need to use a Windows 7 approved driver which will install the Microsoft Virtual WiFi mini port, this mini port is what allows you to create the hosted wireless network.

    I'm not too sure about how this will work through a broadband dongle.

    This link shows you how to set up a hosted wireless network both manually and using the connectify software.
