Vista networking issue

Darrin · 18-08-2008, 04:10

Can anyone please give me the detailed procedure for this?

I've got one laptop that's wired to the net. It has built in wireless. I also have another laptop exactly the same that I want to share the connection with.

So how do I make the first laptop become the wireless server for the other? I have a vague idea how to do it in XP, but absolutely no idea what they're asking me in Vista!

ICS (Internet Connection Sharing) is what you're looking for. Microsoft have some instructions on how to enable it here.
