Snowflake Posted March 14, 2009 Report Share Posted March 14, 2009 I have verizon card and there is now way you can run 2 seperate computers and this comes straight from Verizon. I also have a friend that has some freakishly large laptop that is supposed to supercomputer. He told me we could use his computer since it was so great as a router but after at least an hour of him trying I made him me my card back. This what I know...

smokin5s Posted March 15, 2009 Report Share Posted March 15, 2009 setup her machine with NAT32 or do a Proxy server with it... then it can be shared out to the other machines as long as they are both connected to the same network. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

copperhead Posted March 15, 2009 Report Share Posted March 15, 2009 poke around the control panel until you find internet connection sharing, I can't remember where its at or how to set it up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rally Pat Posted March 15, 2009 Report Share Posted March 15, 2009 Right click on the connection, choose internet connection sharing, follow steps to set up, then use a crossover to connect the two machines together. used it all the time with my 360 to get around buying the wireless adapter.
