for the way to do this. It's actually better to use a router, so that the tower doesn't have to be on all the time you want to use the laptop.
been pulling my hair out.
Laptop has Vista, tower has Win 7 w/ internal wireless networking (same as what's in the laptop, so I'm told)
I've created ad hoc network. everything shares except internet connection.
I've been through all the tutorials I can find. Tried everything. All the boxes to share connection have been checked, un checked and re checked. I've done all I can find to do.
Is there an issue between Vista and 7? I had no problem with the sharing between XP and Vista with an external USB networking card - can't even make that work with the new.
One person tells me it's possible, another tells me I have to have a broadband router.
I've tried to bridge connection as another person advised me - doesn't even give me the option between my internet connection and the wireless network connection.
I have Verizon USB aircard for internet.
