Hello guys!
my 2 brothers have 2 identical HP laptops. One is using the Verizon Broadband card to connect to the internet. now they live in the same house. can they share the internet? and how? please help them out.
thanks.

They need to setup an Ad-Hoc network and then the HP with a Verison Boradband card will share the internet.
do you have xp or vista? -
Do you have FIOS?
-
both vista. i have no idea if it's FIOS.
-
There is no reason for them not to be able to share internet. If they have a router then they can connect to the Ethernet ports. If they have wireless card adapters, then they can access the router wirelessly. Any combination will be fine.
-
no router. one of the laptops uses the verizon wireless broadband card for data access.
-
I got you, your brother without the wireless card could wire his laptop to your brother's laptop and have internet that way.
brother 1 ----(ethernet)----->brother 2 ))))))) WAN
And brother 2 will have to enable his laptop so brother 1 can access internet through his laptop. Check the appropriate box, see attached pic.Attached Files:

If you wanna use an ethernet cable to network both computers then follow Wirelessman.
If you wanna use your notebooks WIFI to share the internet follow surfasb and use Ad-Hoc mode
(Verizon internet) Brother 1 + Brother 2
Is that correct?
"+" is the network between them both using either wired ethernet or WIFI Ad-hoc (no router) -
No, brother 2 is Verizon connected
-
NO! ha ha..there's no router of any kind. both laptops have wireless functions. one of the laptop connects to the internet using a Verizon Wireless USB720 Modem.

Setup an 'Ad-Hoc' network which is a computer-to-computer WIFI connection to the other laptop.
Then enable Internet sharing as wirelessman said above
wireless internet connection sharing...HELP!
