Hello. I have an old Latitude E5500, which as you can imagine doesn't run very well with anything that has the gall to request some-kind of a GPU. On the other hand I have an old Dell with a Radeon X1300/1500, which seems to cough up something in the way of performance.
The laptop can pick up wifi but the desktop can't. I want to establish an internet connection to my desktop however can not connect to my modem directly (As my family doesn't like the idea of a computer on our kitchen bench.)
Using an ethernet cable I'm trying to share my laptop's Wifi connection with the desktop. On my laptop I have done the following: I opened the network and sharing center, I right clicked into 'Proprieties' on my internet connection, I then clicked on the 'Sharing' tab and checked the 'Allow other network uses to connect through and something something' box.
Now, on my desktop, I opened the 'Wireless network connections' tab to find a new available option called 'BigPond'. I selected that, it begun to connect, and then grunted something along the lines of 'Error 651: The modem has reported an error.'
I spent all of yesterday trying to get a windows program to run a Macbook Pro so you can understand I'm a little over errors, in-fact I'm getting a little anxious to if this 'Publish' button is going to work.
