    Hey,
    I have a broadband connection and have connected it to my laptop which is running vista Home Premium. Now i want to have internet access on my ipod/psp/mobile. So i made my laptop a hotspot. But the problem is that whenever i try to connect my ipod, the connectivity shown is only local.

    Anyone experienced the same problem ?

    Help will be appreciated

    Cheers

    It would be better with a router. You need to activate and setup ICS to share your internet.
