Re: advice please
you need to set up internet connection sharing and then connect the laptop to the computer.

Re: advice please
If both PCs have an network port (ethernet) then you need a crossover cable and as sparhawk mentioned then set up connection sharing.
Is there any major reason why you don't want to do it wirelessly? |
