Both computers have XP Pro SP2 and a Wireless Card I DONT have a wireless router as yet and want to connect the other computer via ip sharingWireless CARDS only and no router? I don't think so. You need that key bit of hardware. Quote from: GX1_Man on May 15, 2007, 03:50:02 AM Wireless cards only and no router? I don't think so. You need that key bit of hardware. What about Ad Hoc? Surely you can ICS over an Ad Hoc network?Ad Hoc wireless connection, Sid is right. ICS - OSI level 3 and above; wireless - OSI level 1 and 2 (mostly 1). I am confident he will be able to set up ICS. Of course, it depends on the IP received from ISP, but if there are problems there exist free proxy servers/programs.So whats your suggestion guys?Quote from: viking on May 15, 2007, 07:42:12 AM Sid is right.
