| | Win7 to WinXP LAN Internet connection wireless sharing Hello all... I have a laptop running Windows 7 and a netbook running winXP. The laptop is ethernet connected to the internet. I have created an ad-hoc network using the laptops wireless card and then joined that using the netbook wireless. Is there a way to give internet access to the netbook through the ad-hoc network? |

| | so i guess you have 2 wireless cards, one on every station... on the host, put these settings in TCP/iPV4: IP: 192.168.0.1 SM: 255.255.255.0 DG:192.168.0.2 (other's pc ip) and, on the client, put these: IP: 192.168.0.2 SM: 255.255.255.0 DG:192.168.0.1 (other's pc ip) + Lookup your ip address, the one that connects you to the wired internet, and enter it in the Preferred DNS field, on client machine, so: DNS: xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx also, you have to share your wired connection and allow it to be used by other connections have fun  |

If not, you can try using connectify which uses the msoft wifi virtual mini port to set up a wireless network on your laptop for your netbook to connect too. Connectify - Turn your Windows 7 laptop into a Wi-Fi Hotspot |

| | Thanks for the replies . @maranello if are kind enough,explain please how to share the wired connection in Windows 7 because There is no ICS option for the wired connection. @chev65 Connectify seems to be a solution. I ll post my results after i test it. |

| | Connectify works. I am up and running.Thanx. But isnt there a way to do it without using connctify or similar utils? I mean , does windows have a virtual router embedded??? Because the final conclusion is that connectify installs a virtuall router. Last question is why doesnt a simple bridge between the two network interfaces do the trick? |

| | Right Click on the wired connection > Properties > Sharing (tab) but i guess we use different configurations, and perhaps my solution will not work for you... |
