ICS with 1 Wireless Modem PC Card and 2 Laptops

[Courtney Trautweiler]

Hello,

I have 1 Kyocera Wireless PC Card Modem and 2 laptops (XP Pro) that need to
share the Internet connection. The laptops have integrated Broadcom
wireless adapters and are already configured for access to a stationary WAP.
The wireless modem is to provide traveling access away from the stationary
WAP.

I have installed the wireless PC card modem in one of the laptops. How do I
configure the other laptop to share the other laptop's wireless modem's
internet connection? Do I need a wireless router? A switch? The laptops
are for a library's bookmobile and the less wires in the scenario the
better. The bookmobile is going out Tuesday so I need some help ASAP. I
appreciate any advice you have.

Thanks!
Courtney

Never done it before with a wireless connection, but in Network Connections
if you use the "Create a new connection" wizard, it will walk you right
through what you are trying to do. It will be the last option (Advanced) and
it creates a Internet Gateway
