Hi,
I am thinking about buying a laptop but would first like to check that this setup would allow me to share my dial up internet:
PHONE DESKTOP WI FI USB WI FI LAPTOP LINE -> With ME -> ACCESS PT -> CARD -> With XP
If so, do I just use the netowkring wizard to connect them as if it were a cabled network?

You would have to setup Internet Connection sharing, but that should work.

Thanks.
It was just I read somewhere that Wi Fi ONLY works with broadband, but assume they meant it's better with broadband. I know it'll crawl if I use dial up but better than nothing I figure.
