1.	Solve : Is it possible to use a laptop as a router??
Answer» I am currently living in student accomodation, which provides no wireless internet connection. I have a laptop which i plug into a wall port, via an ethernet cable. I have a second laptop, which can not be connected to the internet via the wall port. Would it be possible to ''bridge'' a connection from laptop(1) to laptop(2) wirelessly? With Laptop(1) almost doubling as a ROUTER? Thanks for READING. Jak.If both laptops can see eachother then you can use ICS.

I've never done it wirelessly but this is more of just an FYI. More info here: http://www.techarsenal.com/content/tutorials/router_from_scratch.htm Linux does this pretty SIMPLY, as well.
