hrdwre :
I've tried setting up sharing on the adapter and then making an ad-hoc network, but if I connect to it, it says "Local Only"
I've tried it with ethernet and the internal wifi adapter, and with 2 wifi adapters. Nothing seems to work.
Any tips would be appreciated!
Thanks!

5.that should bring up " wireless network connection properties"
6. Then click the "Sharing" tab
7. Then check the box by " Allow other network users to connect through this computer's Internet connection"
8. Plug the Computer that you want to get on the internet with By a Ethernet cable from the vista laptop to the other computers Ethernet port and then that computer will share the internet connection from the laptop.
