DarkestDream Posted August 31, 2009 Report Share Posted August 31, 2009 I am hoping this is possible, i have XP SP2 hook up with Linksys PCI wifi card and connected to ATT 2wire router. I was thinking if it is possible for my computer to act like a wired network? I know about the Wireless Adhoc, but the router is in the other side of the house. If wired adhoc is possible, then is it possible to get my computer hook up to a wired router to provide network to other device that need network? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
cherokeechief Posted September 1, 2009 Report Share Posted September 1, 2009 i remember in teh old days before broadband was more available you could put an extra nic card in the pc and use it as the connection to other PCs. this was done because of dial up. to network to other PCs, the first PC would connect to teh dial up and then the rest would connect to that PC through teh network card.

Pete_C Posted September 1, 2009 Report Share Posted September 1, 2009 Do you just mean Internet Connection Sharing? IE you connnect the PC wirelessly to the router and then share the PCs connection with your other device?http://www.practicallynetworked.com/sharing/xp_ics/http://support.microsoft.com/kb/306126 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
