Solve : internet conection sharing in win vista?

Answer» <html><body><p>Hello,<br/><br/>How do I use ICS in windows vista, how do I turn it on?  I <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/want-1448756" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about WANT">WANT</a> to use ICS to share the internet <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/connection-11321" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about CONNECTION">CONNECTION</a> between a desktop and a wireless laptop.  The internet connection is on the desktop<br/><br/>You'll be one of the few using Internet Connection Sharing; most people use a "router".<br/>    <a href="http://www.home-network-help.com/ics-host.html">ICS Host Computer Setup – Windows Vista</a><br/>    <a href="http://windowshelp.microsoft.com/Windows/en-US/help/bfd3bd31-82f0-4b9c-9cde-fb92bc2b14771033.mspx">Using ICS (Internet Connection Sharing)</a><br/>i know using a router is an option, and a better option.  However, I am using dialup and so one of my computers is connected to the internet, and I want the other one which is going to be wireless, to connect to the internet through this computer, as I dont think there is an adapter to convert a rj11 standard phone plug to an rj45 which is an ethernet plug.  The router I have has only an ethernet port as its WAN input, and I dont know of any way to plug a telephone jack into an ethernet port.<br/><br/>If I have to use internet connection sharing, then do I need to have a disk or something to transfer settings from one computer to the other?<br/>On dial-up this is going to be painfully slow with 2 machines sharing a connection...
