| 799810 | 2009-08-09 19:23:00 | Hello All, I'm Interested in knowing if it is possible using a Verizon PC Card to set up a network to another laptop? |

| 799811 | 2009-08-09 21:39:00 | Hi Bobcat51, Welcome to PressF1. Yes, most probably you can! Depending on your OS, in XP you click Start --> Control Panel --> Network Connections Right-click on the PC Card connection and go to Properties. Now I'm a little hazy around the details there, but there's a "sharing" option in there somewhere. Tick that box and you should be right as rain :) Post back if you need further help, Cheers Chill. |

| 799812 | 2009-08-09 22:41:00 | Firstly, you will need to find a way to connect this computer to your laptop first. You can either create a wireless adhoc network and share the internet connection via that using Chill's method, or buy a crossover cable for <$10 and connect them together. Blam |

| 799814 | 2009-08-10 04:08:00 | Thanks Chill, My Brother and I are going remote in a couple weeks and we want to see if he can get on the net thru my laptop. We'll see? |

| 799815 | 2009-08-10 17:31:00 | Thanks All, After going into the control panel (XP) it appears there is a wizard to do exactly what I want. Duh!!! |

| 799816 | 2009-08-10 22:47:00 | I'd avoid the wizard....its better to set it up manually.. | Blam (54) | ||
