How to use a laptop's wireless internet connection with a PC?

[PhillyTech]

Ok. Someone has a laptop that has a wireless connection. The laptop has an ethernet port, and so does the PC. Is it possible to share the laptop's wireless connection through the ethernet port (on the laptop to the ethernet port on the pc)? If so, how? Thanks in advance..!

Bridge the wireless and wired adapter.

Use Internet connection sharing on the notebook and run a crossover cable to the PC.

I would do this.

Note that vdub said a "crossover" cable, not your 'normal' network cable.

Yes, you can easily do this with ICS. I used to have a laptop that was connected to my wireless router & wired to my Xbox so that I could game online. I did this because my router was on the first floor and my console was on the second floor. Rather then run a wire up, this was a much better solution.

Keep in mind that with ICS, the host provides NAT, so accessing local network resources won't work.

Force the adapter into Promiscuous mode using netsh, bridge the connections, connect an ethernet cable, and you are done.
