ive got a laptop with wireless card. ive got a desktop. ive got a hub and cables. im trying to allow the desktop to access the internet through the laptops wireless connection.
with the hub hooked up, ive got lights on the hub and on the back of both computers showing the connections are solid....but i get no response when i ping either computer.
im sure the problem is on the laptops end as i cant get it to run the home network setup wizard (it finishes and tells me an error occurred, but doesnt say what error).
in my network connections, only the wireless network shows up...theres no LAN network showing....and i cant for the life of me figure out how to get it to come up.
laptop is a dell inspiron with windows XP home. desktop is a dell dimension with vista basic (i know, i know...we'll jump that hurtle when we get to it )
