As the Subject tells, I want to connect to the internet through one other laptop, which is connected to the internet with a router…
My laptop that is connected to the internet is a web server (with windows XP on it)
To make it easier, let's call: laptopR the laptop that is connected to the net with a router, and laptopA the one that i m trying to connect.
Both laptops are in separated rooms, which is why i can't connect laptopA to the net with the router. ( i don't want any LAN cable everywhere in my house.)Besides,both laptops, laptopR and laptopA have some wireless system incorporated. So i thought that if i set the server so that it s a proxy server, i might be able to access internet from laptopA with a wireless connection through LaptopR...
Does anyone knows a way to do this?
Thanks in advance.
