Internet connection problem?

Question

well im in the basment and i have 2 laptops here 1 running wireless and 1 is not, i want to connect the one that is not using a eterthenet cable is it possible and how?

Answer 1

You have 2 choices really, The first of these is to run an RJ45 (ethernet) cable from the router to the device you wish to connect, However depending on the distance this could become expensive. The second option is to buy a wireless dongle these are pretty cheap (around £10 - £15 on ebay) connect this to the PC only connecting over LAN and it will work just the same as the PC using both LAN and wireless  

Answer 2

You have to run an R45 ( lan ) cable from you modem to the basement, or you could use those plug socket adaptors that use the mains to transmit the LAN, Devolo do them but they are not cheap. There are other brands as well look on Ebay.

Answer 3

Laptop 1 : wireless + lan

Laptop 2 : lan

Buy a rj45 crossing cable to connect two laptops via lan

Make sure wireless is connected to internet and turn on ICS on wireless of laptop 1

Make sure lan on laptop 2 is DHCP.

Now, laptop 2 can use the internet via laptop 1's wireless  

Answer 4

how would you want to connect it? wireless? what's your router?
