Internet connection sharing

[kmcallister]

Hello everyone, I have wireless broadband internet connection with Sprint that I'm trying to share out to several laptops. I'm getting ready to take the family on a road trip and want to give my kids internet access while on the road.

The laptop used to connect to the internet is running vista home or it could be xp pro. I have 4 other laptops that I would like to have internet access also. All running xp pro. All have builtin wireless card.

Any assistance you can give would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you,

KMcAllister

See if these will help you out. I do believe that sharing this kind of connection will prove to be sluggish, but just as long as the kids are entertained, then no worries. The first link deals with sharing the EVDO (wireless broadband) connection. The others deal with sharing a wireless connection in general, which are all similar processes. Hope these help you out.
