U can connect your laptop to a pc.But before that i would like to ask u if u have a lan card installed in ur pc.If u have a lan card installed than what u can do is,Right click on the "My Network Places Icon" and go to properties.There select TcpIp right click on it and again go to properties.When the page opens select the radio button namely "Obtain ip address automatically." Repeat the similar steps on the "my network places" icon in your laptop also. After that connect your laptop with the pcby using a "cross Cable".If you don't have one u can buy it frm a computer shop. after connecting the two units refresh the laptop and the pc.It ll work.

There are several ways to connect a laptop to a PC.

1) if you have an Ethernet card installed on your laptop and on your PC you can directly connect them with a cross-over LAN cable (in case You don't have network hub). or a straight LAN cable (if you are using a network hub or network switch between the computers)

2) via infrared (laptop and PC must have infraed)

3) Direct cable connect from parallel port to parellal port (help available in windows).

4) using a Null modem cable from one serial port to the other.

5) You can also connect modem to modem. but this method is bit difficult.

By setting up a wireless network, you can easily connect a laptop to a pc. by installing a network interface card (NIC) and a transmitter and receiver, you can attach many different peripherals to the one pc and set up your own little LAN. check your office they usually will already have ports available for use with laptops. if it is just for file sharing, a cheaper suggestion would ba a flash drive or memory stick.

And last but not least here is a straightfwd how-to using MS's (basic) NetBEUI protocol. It works well for Win to Win PCs. You will be using your PCs 10/100 network adapters (NICs) - NOT the serial, LPT or SER, ports.

Any Q's, just ask.

I have access to the internet through wireless using my laptop. i want to share this internet access to my desktop using a cross over cable. how can i go about it. thanks

Ok but here comes the trick... I want to use the internet connection from my Laptop wireless (AirPort) connection connecting my PC with windows XP using an Ethernet cable. so obviously I cannot run the windows network connection wizard on my Mac Laptop. SO... how do I connect my MAC laptop that has the internet to my PC using and ethernet wire that does NOT have the internet connection? and without using a router!

I had this issue, and rather suprsingly, Windows help actually helped!

search on windows help for Change TCP/IP settings, and follow the instructions for "To specify IPv4 IP address settings, do one of the following"

To share an internet connection of a laptop that is already connected to a WIFI.
Note that you do not need any IP-addresses here.

Step 1
connect your laptop to the WIFI provider.
Step 2
Run the internet connection wizard
Step 3
At the internet connections options, choose the third option that says "make a home network or connect to a small office network.
Step 4
click next next next bla bla bla until you reach a window that shows your current WIFI connection do not forget to click or check the box that says "ignore the disabled network equipment"
Step 5
From the next window, choose the first option. This option configures your Laptop as a server thereby allowing internet connection sharing. click next next next bla bla bla until you are prompted to restart your computer. When your computer is restarting, you will receive a message that a gateway will be created for this connection, answer "YES" and that is all.
Step 6
As for the second computer, connect it to the Laptop by a twisted pair cable (RJ-45+CAT5 cable).
Step 7
Switch on the computer and repeat Step 1 to Step 4. In Step 5, choose the second option. this configures the second computer as a client to the Laptop.
Step 8
click next next next bla bla bla until you are prompted to restart your computer. As soon as the restart is done, you second computer should browse the internet without any clicking. Enjoy !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
