wifi query

[stormblast]

had a query bout sharing net using wifi.

currenty i have a desktop pc & a laptop which has wifi.

atm i am using net on my desktop via lan card. now i want to share this on my laptop using wifi. what i wanted to know is if i could buy a wifi pci card for my desktop & share the net with it on my laptop. this is without using a router.
is it possible to do this or no.

Possible... it's the same concept as sharing bandwidth between two PC's on a wired LAN when you have only 1 internet port on your Airtel router

Its possible by creating an adhoc computer to computer network. However that is painful to say the least.... Simply get a wifi router and it'll cost the same (arnd 2k). Plug in ur desktop normally into the router using ethernet and use wifi on ur laptop.

Yeah, that's what he's decided after a brief conversation
