hi. i have a quick question. i’m connecting to the internet using a wireless card and a laptop. the connection is a free wireless connection found in my neighborhood.
the laptop (or notebook for you young people 🙂 ) has an ethernet card built into it.
is it possible to share the internet connection through this ethernet card? making the laptop like a router. or even routing the connection through the ethernet card and losing internet capability on the laptop?
the purpose is due to having a vonage adapter/router with me and not being able to use it. the vonage adapter needs to be wired to the internet via an ethernet cable (normally directly to a cable/dsl modem). the idea is to wire it to the laptop. then plug my phone into the vonage adapter and be able to make some calls.
when i right-click on my wireless connection (under network connections) and click the advanced tab there is no ‘internet connection sharing’ box (only ‘windows firewall’ box).
hope that wasn’t confusing.
thank you
