    Im trying to share a EVDO wireless internet connection through a desktop computer/USB modem to my Vaio laptop.

    I have a Windows XP desktop computer connected to a Linksys WRT54G wireless router and a Verizon USB720 modem is also hooked up to to the desktop computer.

    The Linksys setup shows all connections and devices properly and Im able to use the internet on the desktop computer but, Im still unable to connect to the internet on the laptop. The laptop connects to the network but, the internet still doesnt work on the laptop.

    Any ideas? Anyone have any experience sharing a EVDO connection?
