Hi there, i am connected to my wireless signal (usb dongle) and wondered if i could share my internet connection over a ethernet crossover cable network somehow?

I am about to set the network up as follows:
Direct Ethernet Communication — MakingThings

cheers,
Nick.

Doing the exact thing right now while on holiday Just right click the usb dongle select props and share connection
Ethernet cable between them both

done that mate, but on the other pc its not connecting to the internet. When i try and access IE i get a message asking me to connect to the internet. Could it be because i have setup a manual ip on the network?

You should have network set to DHCP not static on the second PC.

Check it has an IP address and the DHCP server where it got the IP from.

Could be firewall on the sharing computer that is blocking it ?
