I think there is another way in whcih you install a Wi-Fi card on your PC and then you can connect other Wi-Fi enabled devices of the comp is on.... But I am not sure abt that....
It's called an ad-hoc connection...
WTF !!! What do you expect me to search for ? My exact post ?
I mean, if you have discussed this earlier, just help me out by posting a link to the old thread rather than being cheeky mate
Arrey yaar, if you know another thread, just gimme the damn link ! I DID try to look for one. Didn't know what to search for and got no suitable results.
All im asking here is whether i can use a WLAN card to share my net connection which i get via LAN.
Just a yes or no would do instead of all the yada yada yada...
A little more politeness would have gonbe a long way,and you'd have got ur answer from someone by now for sure.......
Anyway, this time, won't ask u to search..here we go:
1- Assuming ur desktop is connected to the Internet through one network interface say N1 ,and the other network interface on ur desktop is the WLAN card, say N2..Your notebook has a internal/PCMCIA WLAN card, say N3..all network interfaces are up & working with the right drivers
2- N1 is connected to the net, so for N1, go to Network connections> N1>properties>Advance>Internet connection sharing, and enable it to allow N2 to use the net
3- go to network connections>N2>properties>TCP/IP
4- Assign manual IP of say 192.168.0.1, subnet mask 255.255.255.0 leave rest blank
5- go to the wireless connections tab on N2, click on add, give a new SSID (Name for WLAN) say TE, click on the checkbox at bottom (that says
this is a wirleess peer-peer connnection, or sumthing similar)
6- Just leave the wep/WPA off for now, we can set it up later
7- Click ok
8- Now go to notebook, N3
9- Go to network connections>N2>properties>TCP/IP
You can either leave it at default (Automatic IP config) , or assign a manual IP of say 192.168.0.2
Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0
gateway=192.168.0.1
DNS server=192.168.0.1
10- Go to wireless networks tab, and refres/search for wireless connection..now u should see the network with SSID TE here, (if u don't, it means u haven't specified TE as a peer-peer/ad-hoc network in the wirelessconnection tab on N2)
11- double click TE, click on OK in the new dialog box....
Enjoy the net connection and network sharing on the note book :hap2:
