    Never done this before, have little time to waste and in an uncomfortable location, does anyone know of a very simple guide to connecting two PC's wirelessly?
    Need to access the internet through connection on one and can't add router.
    No time to RTFM !
    Thx for any help.

    PS: Only attempt so far, turned both on, enabled wireless and they don't find each other. Network wizard did nothing to help. Using Windows to configure instead of belkin and Intel software that they normally use.

    Enable file sharing and discovery on both computers, then if they're connected to the same network, they should be able to see each other.
