Internet connection sharing

Allouch · 03-20-2007, 12:50 PM

Hey all, i successfully connected 2 laptops using a wireless connection and everything works fine.
But one of them has an internet connection which i receive from my provider through a network cable.
How can i share this connection so that both laptops have access to the internet ?

Either through ICS or with a router.
A router is much more secure and easier to setup.

No, you can use the wireless connection with ICS.
