Hey, I have a computer currently connected to a wired router and adsl modem. This computer also has a wireless network card.
I also have a laptop which contains a wireless network card. I wish to connect my laptop to wireless without a wireless router since i do not have one.
I was told i could use the wireless adapdter in my other computer and configure it for an ad hoc connection.
I tried this and I got my laptop to connect and i have full signal, however my laptop has NO internet. I went to ipconfig /all and got this result:
