Guess what I'm trying to do is right. But my main computer is currently using a lan. Tried connecting it to my laptop, but it won't id the network because of vista in it's infinate greatness. Remember hearing about a way to use my main computer so that i could use my laptop to use it wirelessly. Where's the opition to do this, remember seeing it before, but can't find it now.

Do you have a wireless modem??? OR a wireless access point????

If not how the heck do you think you can do it?????


If your desk top has a wireless adapter in it you can not use that as an access point you never have been able to do that you must have a router With a Wireless built into it or a Router and a wireless access point.


Sorry Hope this help you some

ya sounded a bit wonky when i first heard it(an IT guy told me this). Didn't think it was possible, thought i did find the setting the guy told me about, but wanted some equipment I didn't have or intended on buying. Was worth seeing if it was possible.
