use bluetooth to network laptops & share 1 wifi connection??

by reedme . Updated 16 years, 12 months ago

Hi, and thanks for the help,

The wireless adapter on one of my computers is busted, so I want to network my 2 laptops together using bluetooth so they can share the 1 working Internet connection.

I’m using Windows 7 RC 1.

We’re in a hotel and using the public WIFI, so I don’t have access to the router.

We got the bluetooth network working, but can’t figure out how to connect them both to the internet (share the wireless connection).

If someone could give me a step by step breakdown of how to do this, or point out a good thread, I would be very grateful!

I am pretty handy around technology and computers (usually), but this one has so far eluded me, I can’t figure out what Im missing….

thanks!
