I have two laptops that need internet access: EEEPC 4G and Gateway P-6831FX.
I only have 1 ethernet connection though.
I don't have a router and can't use one.
The P-6831FX is connected to an ethernet cable right now.
I want my EEEPC to connect wirelessly to P-6831FX to get internet through the ethernet cable.
Is it possible to use my P-6831FX's wireless card to send/receive from the EEEPC such that the EEEPC can connect to internet through the P-6831FX?

Yes you can
Select both the wifi and wired adapters in network connections.
And highlight bridge conections.

Also, on your P-6831FX go to your network connections, right click on wireless and go to properties ; then make sure the box is checked that says something to the order of "Allow others to access the internet via this laptop"

K I'm still having trouble doing this, what I need is the following:
Ethernet to comp1
comp1 gets internet
comp1 sends out wireless
comp2 connects to comp1 via wireless (through at least WEP security, if possible)
comp2 gets internet through comp1
The 2 posts above listed 2 different methods: ICS and bridging, both cannot coexist and both have been confusing and have had not much success. -
Why can't you use a router?

Same question here, why not use a router?

just earlier i did this between a desktop and a laptop, until my router comes in the mail.
i set up an ad hoc connection with the wireless card and then turned on ICS. once i turned it on, i went to the laptop and set the ip to 192.168.0.XXX, the subnet mask to 255.255.255.0, and the default gateway to 192.168.0.1.
then i enter ipconfig /all into cmd and got my DNS server #'s. -
My router did not get an IP address assigned to it or something, so I couldn't use it.
It's ok, I got it working.
Need help bridging connections..
