Ahoy Guys

If this has already been posted before, my sincere apologies!

While surfing I came across this article: http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/u...02april08.mspx


Basically this allows you to setup an adhoc pc-to-pc network.

I wanted to use this for my N80 phone (I don't wanna buy any additional hardware).
I currently use a 3G data card at home and Wi-Fi at work. I did follow the steps in setting up my laptop as a host pc. I also managed to detect the adhoc wifi from my phone, but I just cant surf the net!!! I also struggled with encryption so I ended up not using this option just to see if I can actually connect to the net from my phone!

Anyone who can help or have a say please post all your views and comments.

Much appreciated guys!
 
Stop posting in bold... :(

Right click on your internet connection > Properties > Advanced > check the box for connection sharing, choose wireless adapter. Then it should work!
