Need Help With Wireless Connection Settings.

[Snapy1]

I was watching this tutorial 

to use my laptop as a router for my desktop until I can afford a long enough ethernet cable to reach all the way back into my room. but at 1:26 of the video I dont see the "Sharing tab". I think I may have broke it or did something wrong, I was watching other tutorials before that told me to do stuff different, so what I am wondering is their anyway I can bring that "sharing" tab back?

Instead of doing that you can just make your own Ethernet cable for cheap, you might need a few tools though. Sorry if I couldn't help.

Another website told me to do the exact same thing and it did nothing.

Probably because it's straight out of most any Window's Configuration Certification.

 

I've never done it this way, but you could try this:  http://www.addictivetips.com/windows-tips/simple-windows-7-file-sharing-step-by-step-procedure/

Did you get a chance to give that a shot?  I'm curious as to what your issue was.
