pc to pc Sharing WLAN with a LAN cable to another PC?

[Icefly]

Hey

Is it possible to share my WLAN with my second pc via LAN cables?

Like.. putting the LAN cable into my PC and then stick it in my second PC?

 

And do it need a special thing or do i need some settings to adjust before it works?

I read something about a Cross Over cable but it seems like it's not needed with newer LAN boards.

With newer ethernet cards you don't need a crossover anymore. You need to assign static ip's to the ethernet ports on both devices. For instance: 192.168.1.1 for device #1 and 192.168.1.2 for device #2. Then you need to right click on the Wi-Fi and there is a button somewhere which says: 'Share this device'. Then share it with the ethernet adapter.

Goto the WIFI adapters settings and share it to the LAN network adapter.

This works, another option is in windows network adapter list if you select 2 of them and right click it will have a option to bridge connections which will all you to share the connection.

FYI you don't need to set a static ip address windows will automatically set link-local addresses (169.254.0.0).
