Sharing Internet Connection

Martin

I have two W2KPro laptops and a wireless air card. I
would like for both laptops to share the connection
provided by the air card. The air card is located in the
PC card slot of one of the laptops and the two laptops
are connected by an ethernet cable beteen each of their
internal 10/100 cards. I have tried to select 'Enable
INternet Connection Sharing' on the Air Card connection
in 'Network and Dial-Up Connections', but I get 'Error
783: Internet Connection Sharing cannot be enabled. The
LAN connection selected as the private network is either
not present, or is diconnected from the network. Please
ensure that the LAN adapter is connected before enabling
Internet Connection Sharing.'

Any ideas?

Answered my own question. For anyone else out there
wondering, it takes a crossover cable between the two
adapters. Duh.
