Solve : 2 questions!?

Answer»

1. Does anybody know how i can bridge some connections (Ie. My desktop computer through to my wireless router via my laptop wireless card.)

2. Does anybody know how i can CANCEL or STOP an internal computer's connection to the wireless router? Via my laptop....Ie. I want to use my laptop as a MASTER computer and allow/disallow who i wish to be able to use the net.1.) Let me see if I'm understanding you right, you want to give your Desktop access to the internet via your laptop's wireless connection? If so you need to setup internet connection sharing on your laptop.

2.) What computers do you wish to block? If you want to block strangers from gaining access to your wireless network the easiest way would be to encrypt the wireless signal so anyone who wants to connect would need a password.You posted pretty much what I was just going to say, Deerpark.
Something you didn't add though is:

Why do you want to do this?



Sounds like you're trying to do something bad...I could be mistaken though Nothing malicious, just if my sister is hogging all the bandwith while im playing an online action game......BOOT...lolI would just work out a schedule with Sis and be patient explaining it...

Sister's can be tough to reason with but you attract more bees with Honey than Vinegar...Can you guys just help me with the problem not the ethics xD

If i want an ethical SOLUTION i'd ask a priest or something lolI know the feeling, I have the same issues.
Me - BF2142. Sister - Youtube. "Excuse me, I'm getting major LAG here. Just tone down the videos, and just do something else, huh?" Doesn't work though.
Just be patient and keep explaining, you'll have more luck than me I hope.
Also, I think you'd find it hard to limit the bandwidth anyway.If you wanted to CONTROL access to the net like that, you'd need to ROUTE all computers on the network through your laptop. I wouldn't recommend it though. First of all the laptop would have to be on whenever access to the net was required, second of all in my experience laptops aren't well designed for running 24/7.

Also you'd need a real gateway program, as far as I know Windows connection sharing doesn't let you control who have access to the net like you want.

I only know one gateway program, Wingate, but that isn't freeware.

Or you could buy a router that allows you to setup priorities for different types of traffic, like streaming video and online gaming.
