Okee.. Veerrry new to this.
I would like to have it so my laptop connects to the Internet without having to wait a few hours for the other person to get off the damn computer..
So.. I've read a few tuts on what to do. Gone through a wizard on setting up the network connection. I know something is missing, because it's never as easy as you would like it to be!
Anyways. My laptop is connected to the cable modem through an Ethernet cable. Then the cable modem is connected to the main PC via USB. I do have a router but I feel there needs to be 2 Ethernet cables.. so won't bother with that for now.
Okee. There are these little icons of those 2 computers in the bar at the bottom. [URL] http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v130/dani47/comps.jpg [/URL]. The icons are on both the laptop and computer and are flashing. They also both say they're connected, though. The icons on the laptop have a speed of 100.0mbps and on the main PC, it's 10.0mbps. But there's no Internet connection on the laptop.
Confussed. Any help is much appreciated!
Thankee. :)

I just 'pinged' from the laptop, for the first time! Marvelous..
Anyhoo, it said a load of stuff about the destination being unreachable. Whether that's of any help or not!

Hm.. I don't have the Sharing & Security tab.. :)
On the computer with an internet connection.
Go into:
Control Panel >> Network Connections >> Then right click on your internet connection >> Properties >> Click on the 'Sharing and Security' tab and click 'Share this internet connection'.
hey presto (thats without a Router)
