how to share internet with wireless + thinkvantage access co

[sthapit]

hi. i'm trying to share my wired/lan internet connection with a second laptop that has a wireless card. the first computer is a T43 and i use the thinkvantage access connections for the wireless settings. any ideas on how to do this?

thanks!

You mean share through the router or make an ad-hoc network that links from computer to computer?

the second one (ad-hoc network that links from computer to computer)

OK, I prefer using IBM Access Connections to do this

Bring up the Location Profile Manager though the ThinkVantage Access Connections icon on the taskbar with the little computer

Next, create a new profile; once you get to the oage where it asks you for the SSID of the Network, there should be a box that says "Connection Type: Access Point" ; in the drop down menu, select "Ad-hoc peer-to-peer"

Complete the Network setup normally and save it

There you go; if you want screenshots, I can PM them to you. HTH
