Hi, pals.
I am looking for a setup to share my wired networked XP Desktop Pc's internet to my laptop through wireless. The only thing I wanted to setup is hook a USB wireless NiC in my Desktop "setup the bridging/NAT" then receive internet connection on my laptop through its own wireless connectivity.

So I am looking for what type of USB wireless NIC could do this job (I am looking to buy for the device, name and link of the device would be more helpful).
What setup procedure should I follow in order to share the internet to the USB wireless NiC and then receive on my laptop.

Thankyou.

Ene.

Your case is pretty simple as long as your laptop has wifi support you could easily set up the ability of sharing from pc to your laptop by buying any usb wifi adapter,you will be using a pc to pc wireless connection called adhoc. Adhoc is a connection type which creates a new network using the computer as an access point, the internet connection is simply shared among the clients which access the adhoc network like any other access point its accesible by simply scanning for new access points. There are many guides for achieving the adhoc configuration online by writing into google the search term ”how to set up an ad hoc network in windows xp”.
