Does anyone know if this is possible? If so how to do it?

Laptop (Windows XP)
Main PC (Vista Home Premium)


Laptop (no wireless)-> Cabled Network-> Crossover Network cable ->Network card on Main PC->Wireless Connection->Wireless router ->Internet

1) New wireless card (too expensive)
2) To from router for direct connection.

Thanks in advance.

If you have a router, why don't you just hook up both devices to it?

It's possible, but it'll be a huge headache as you'll need to configure the computer to route traffic from the router to the laptop.

You would end up with the routers DCHP assigning an address to the computer on one subnet, then on another separate subnet, you'll be routing traffic to the laptop.

(Internet) --> Router --> Computer <-- Laptop

May I ask why you need to set it up this way?

If you turn on "Internet Connection Sharing" on the desktop, you can do it with no hassle. Should be under the Ethernet connection in Network Connections.

yes the internet connection sharing thing should take care of it for you. However I could never get that crap to work for me but others have.
