Hi there
I might be a bit obtuse (it's early in the morning and had a few beers last night) but what's the difference between this and "bog standard" Internet sharing through a computer. You could even set this up in XP without any problems - or have I missed the whole point. I probably have because I've read the article again (drinking tea and eating a lovely hot greasy "bacon Buttie" before the veggie police arive at work) and can't really see how this is different from "Allow other devices and computers to share your Internet connection".

Cheers

Normally a wireless adapter like on a laptop can only connect to one other device at any given time.

So, if laptop (without wires) wants to receive internet from router, router is the one other device. Nothing else could connect to laptop as there's nothing available.

I think what the OP is about is that under the above condition, the laptop can now serve to other devices while it itself receives internet.

Multiple connections on one adapter, flying around all directions, when before there could one be 1.

But this doesn't make sense to me. For the laptop to get internet in the first place it needs a router. Why not just connect all other devices to that router too, instead of laptop?

Maybe I'm missing something too? Seems interesting though.

Sounds like to me that this is set up for those who want to sneak (hack) a wi-fi connection by bypassing the router security all together with the virtual wi-fi in windows seven. Thus circumventing all security measures taken by the wi-fi client. Which in theory would make any mobile PC running seven a potential liability. Scary thought really.
