I have wirelles network between laptop and PC. PC is connected through cable modem to internet. How to establish internet connection sharing on laptop. Could someone give me tutorial or advice?
 
Right click on my computer, go properties. Make sure both pc's are in the same workgroup.

Find a folder you wish to share, right click and enable sharing.

To view specified folder that you just shared, go to other computer and go into the "my network places" go "view workgroup computers" on the left panel.. wallla

You must check workgroup on both pc's, and share a folder or HD on each pc
 
Thank you for advice, but all you wrote is alredy done. I saw all shared folders on each computers, this is not a problem. My wish is to connect to internet from laptop, through PC, using established wireless network between them.
 
So you have a wireless router, and 2 wireless PC's. Only one gets internet? Or how do you have this internet setup?

Do you have the internet setup like this?

Cable Modem---->Pc---->Wirless Router---->Laptop

Or like this?

Cable Modem ---->Wireless Router---->PC1 and PC2


Im thinking you have only an ethernet card in PC 1.
Try pluggin the ethernet cable from PC1 into the port portion of the router, and wirlessly connect from the router to the Laptop.

Am I missing anything?

I am correctly wireless connected between PC and laptop. Problem is how to share internet connection with laptop. Simple or...?
 
There are like 7 different ways to hook it up CORRECTLY.. Which way are you using? IT makes a HUGE difference.
 
1. PC is connected to net by series cable modem (USB ).
2. Wireless PC card 2,4 GHz 54 Mbps is inside PC.
3. Laptop is HP Pavillion, with Broadcom 802.11 b/g WLAN
4. Smal home wireless network is peer-to-peer, both computers can see each other and all shared folders.
My problem is how to get internet connection at laptop, using wireless connection to PC ( Internet connection sharing )
Using WIN help i was not able to do it. Maybe, it is written quite complicate and confused or...
Thank you in advance.
 
No i understand how you have this setup... I believe your problem arises when you setting up the 2 different options. Your WAN connection to your isp is probably PPpoe, and setup under something like "lan connection 1".
Your wireless card is setup under a different connection "lan connection 2". Make sure that the lan connection 2 only uses ICS, and specifies an IP address ONLY if the laptop does not specify its own.
 
I do it as you advice me. Lan conection 2 is set to share internet connection and IP address is set to obtain address automaticaly. IP LAN conection 1 is also set to automaticaly. At laptop, IP address of wirelless connection is also set to automatically. Connecting to internet from laptop still not works. I am going crazy...
 
My last options... Make sure you have no other lan or high speed connection which are enabled, which arent being used.

Last option, try deleting the lan conneciton #2, and remaking it. Go through the steps slowly. It is usually the most mundane things which we miss... :) good luck.
