Maybe I'm to old for this, but I would like to connect my HP vista laptop
which is connected to the internet via dsl modem to another laptop Compax XP.. both computers have wireless capabilities...I would like to share the internet connection...It worked once for me but now I cannot get it to work...On the XP computer it shows that I am connected to the VISTA computer and when I try to get on the internet on the XP computer it will not open IE, I tried diagnostics on the XP and it said there was no wireless connection...at the same time the XP computer showed that it was connected...Is it possible to get on the internet on the XP computer using the VISTA computer connection to the internet? Like I said maybe I am to old for all of this, but any help would be appreaciated |

The above link should help! The only other way is to buy a wireless router, and set up a wireless Netwotk that way.
