    Wired and wireless problem


    Hello, I have a laptop (windows 7) connected wirelessly to the internet. I have a pc (vista) without a wireless card so I want to connect it via a wire to the laptop to get internet. I have done this but I cannot figure out how to get the internet.


    |Vista|___wire___|7|->> <<-|Router|


    It is not possible to connect the pc directly to the router.

    Hi Ocelot, welcome to Sevenforums. Take a look at this tutorial: https://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials...ng-enable.html I believe it is what you want. It was written specifically for Win 7, but the process is pretty much the same on Vista.
