390522 2005-09-24 13:42:00 HI there: I have an HP lap top, a D-Link Wireless Router and a Desktop machine with a modem. I have been able to setup file and print sharing successfully (will deal with security later :illogical )

My question is how to persuade the lap top to use the Internet connection provided by the desktop machine's modem. I have setup Modem sharing.

Welcome to PressF1!

You basically need to instruct the laptop to use the desktop as a Gateway and Primary DNS server.

There is a FAQ on Networking which should guide you through this process

Cheers


Chill.
