Wifi network based on a USB connection
Hi everyone.
First and foremost, I would like to congratulate you on this helpful forum.
My problem is the following:
I'm trying to connect my laptop to the Internet, using my desktop computer (Acer) Internet connection.
My Acer is connected to the internet through a USB "stick" (normal, with no WiFi capabilities).
I also connected a WiFi Linksys router in order to create a wireless network with the laptop.
The router has an entry to a phoneline, and while having an ADSL connection (not so long ago) it served me just fine with the same purpose.
Right now I don't have ADSL (unfortunately), so the routher cannot connect directly to the Internet.
So, what I am trying to do is have my Acer Internet service "transmitted" to the laptop through the WiFi router.
Can it be done? I tried everything I could think of, but to no avail.
I can see the desktop computer in my network (when working with the laptop), but the Internet is not accessible.
I understand I have 2 separate connections (the USB Internet and the Wifi router), I just don't seem to be able to integrate both.
Both computers have Win7 Enterprise 64 Bit installed on them.
Thanks for your help!
