i have 2 Pcs and 2 laptops, a :
AMD 800 desktop
Athlon XP 1700+ desktop
Toshiba P4 1.6 laptop
Sony Vaio Z1 P4 1.6 laptop
My 2 desktops are linked to my cable internet by having the cable modem connect to one LAN port of my AMD800 then another network card connects the pc to an 8 port hub. the 8 port hub connects to my AthlonXP and my Sony laptop. What i want to do is to use the Sony and its built in wireless to host internet with my Toshiba which has a PCMCIA wireless card atached to it. ive trid to share the LAN connection of the Sony to enable internet sharing, but it doesnt work. The Sony and Toshiba can see each other on the workgroups in MY Netowrk Places. I am using WINXP PRO. can i actually share the internet like this?
