    Anyone know about networking? I wanna connect another computer and share wireless bro

    I have a sprint wireless broadband (USB) on my laptop and I have a home PC that's kinda old but i do have a wireless network adapter USB. It seems like something easy but its out of my expertise. I want to make a shared internet connection, so my nephews can surf the net while I work on my online college courses. Is this possible? Please, if anyone studies or has a career in Networking, I would appreciate you assistance in this financial turmoil as parts or new service would cost an arm and leg.

    if your computer has a inbuilt wireless card you can set up a adhoc wireless network that would allow the other users in the house. if your using vista it's really easy to setup

    this should get you started

    if its saving money your after then I'd get a proper ADSL/cable connection. 3G dongles are just for mobile browsing not home setups!
    you can get wireless routers for well cheap nowadays and monthly phone line rental from the post office.
    The internet will be faster and you can download what you want rather than a measely 500mb a month!
