Subnet- 255.255.255.0
Gateway : 192.168.1.1 ( Its the ip of wifi modem)

if any pc connected via LAN is laptop then try a software called Connectigy
else get a wifi dongle for desktop and share

Many laptops have inbuilt wireless capability. So scan for ur wl network and connect to it. In case if u dont have wl nt set it up.

In case ur lap dont have inbuilt wl capability. U have to get a wireless adapter.

hi

all u need to ensure is that your wifi modem or router is configured to transmit wireless signals and it has an SSID name and password for security.

if u are using a laptop it should probably have a wireless adaptor else you can get an external usb wireless dongle as suggested in previous posts.

ur laptop should then automatically pickup the SSID name for your router and u need to type the password and you should be through to internet...
