Hello,

I need help to share the internet connection of a desktop pc (adsl connection through a usb modem) to a laptop via wireless. First i'll plug and install a D-Link usb wireless adapter to the desktop pc.But what will i do then? Will i have to install another software or use windows tools? Desktop pc is on windows xp and the laptop is on vista.Can you help please.

Easiest way is to get a router.

ALthough you can do it using ICS, it's not (in my experiance) very good.

I'm trying for the chapest way that's why getting a router is plan "B".
Thanks for help i'll try ICS.

I failed setting up the sharing over the wireless. The laptop can't find a wireless network to join. But the desktop seems to be on a wireless network which i set up. ...sh*t.

Did you set the wi-fi card on the desktop to be an adhoc network and then share it?

This is your scenario.
