can share folders on the computers. The problems that I
have are witht he internet and email, I caanot seem to
connect to the internet through the laptop, the desktop
is fine. I am getting to the ned of my tether with it as
it seems to be going on for a long time now with no
success. Please help

Thanks for comingback to me, I am using a broadband
connection for access to the internet. I have a d link
network card fitted on the main computer and a usb plug
in on the laptop. I cannot understand why it is letting
me do everything except the internet and email, I can
even print from the laptop too.

Make sure you have Internet Connection Sharing acitvated
(ICS) on the main computer. The wireless connection is
only working to connect the two computers together at the
moment, but if you activate ICS, it will, as the name
suggests, share the internet connection of the main
computer.

Hope this helps,

Nick
