    Hi Nova,

    Please try this for both computers:

    Click Start > Control Panel

    Change to small/large icons (top right) and click Network and sharing centre.

    In the left pane click Manage wireless Networks.
    Click on your wireless connection to highlight it and click the Adapter Properties link.

    In the new window.
    Click on the Sharing tab and check the box for: Allow other network users to connect through this computers internet connection.

    Click OK and close the window

    Reboot and check connection.

    Hope this helps
    Cheers
    Dave

    But you cannot connect to the router with the laptop is that correct?

    When you try and connect to the router with the laptop does it give you any error message when try and connect to your router SSID?

    why i can't?
    it gives error now sometimes(it connect and then disconnect)(that's the reason i'm looking to share internet)
    but didn't give error before (until last few days)
    ---
    note that i want to connect via my pc(and its wifi adapter) and then share it with my laptop
    so the only thing i use in my laptop is an ethernet cable
    *im not gonna use my laptops internal wifi
    because i think it conflict with some other devices in my network

    Personalli i always feel a direct wireless connection to the router is always better rather than sharing htru another machine as speeds nearly always suffer sharing internet.

    If you wish to share follow Northernsoul55's advice to setup in #3.

    If you wish to try and get your wireless connection working using the router we can try and troubleshoot your issues if you so wish.

    You choose.
