Bridging

[Seanohue]

I know its possible to bridge a wireless connection between a phone and laptop, but what about a laptop and a desktop through a networking cable? They rearranged everything while I was at school and now the router is all the way in the basement and my computer is in my room, so I need a temporary solution while I wait for a wireless adapter to come. So, it is as simple as attaching a networking cable from the laptop to the desktop or are there a few more steps involved?

you could do it I think.. it'd be ICS and not a bridge though... you'll also need a x-over cable to connect the laptop to the desktop

I got it; shared the wireless to the lan port on the laptop and then connected the wired connection to a router to share it with the desktop Thanks!
