Title: Making a laptop a wirelessbridge
Post by: ukgimp on January 15, 2011, 12:27:16 AM
I am staying somewhere with Ethernet. I have two laptops.

Can I plug in one and make it a wireless bridge? I remember bakedjake doing it one but he had two wireless card in his laptop.

Both machines have in built wireless.

Can thus be done. 

Cheers.

Which OS are you using?

Windows 7 has an easy way to make an 'ad-hoc' connection... other computers can use the terminal's connection to connect to the internet.
