laptop as an modem?

[Drozds5224]

hi guys, u might think this is  stupid question but i don't know a lot about this stuff so i hope someone can help me.

 

So my ethernet cable is not long enough to get to my bedroom and my desktop pc don't have wifi adapter, is there any way that i could set up my laptop as an modem and connect ethernet cable to it so i coud get internet to my desktop pc till i get new and longer ethernet cable?!?!

[manikyath]

yeah... you'd think thats possible right? its even a feature in windows.

 

i know no one (including a few sysadmins) that have no idea how to do that.

on linux its easy tho.

[comefightme]

it's still worth the effort. Just browse dank memes on ur laptop until the new ethernet cable arrives

what os  is the laptop running?

[Oshino Shinobu]

As a modem? No. As a router/bridge/switch? Yes, though it would probably need to run something other than Windows.

Modem? Maybe with some accesories. Bridge and switch? Sure, there is lots of software that can do that

just Bridge the wifi to the Ethernet ?

Windows 10

alright

on the laptop, go to your network and sharing center

under active networks, click the blue colored network name

click properties (its an admin one)

from there, click the sharing tab.  

click allow other network users  to connect through the computer's internet connection checkbox

click the setting box

allow all the stuff in there

If you select the Ethernet and WiFi (in "network connections" under network and internet from the control panel) and then right click on them, you can choose "Bridge Connections" which will allow you to use your laptops WiFi connection as a bridge to the Ethernet, allowing you to connect your desktop to the laptop Ethernet port and get internet
