Here is some more info. laptop uses a cellular type card to connect to the internet. It also has wireless capabilities. I wanted to use this wireless card as and adhoc network. I wanted to have the laptop share its internet through the wirelss card and with her sons 7" netbook that has wireless capabilities. So i wanted to use their wireless connections to share the internet. The netbook sees the laptop ok but is not allowed to access the internet. Any suggestions. Thanks in advance. Take care everyone
