I live out in the country so I have no access to a proper broadband ISP company. So I am going to use verizons wireless plan (PCMCIA wireless verizon card). I want to be able to share that connection with the other computers in my house wirelessly. How exactly would I do something like this? Because I am using a wireless card to connect to verizons network how can I share that connection to a wireless router? I hope this makes sense.

You do know that the service degrades with the distance from most towns. I would guess it still is better than dial up but YMMV. I would install the pcmcia (pc card) in the most useless computer. Remove any private data and get a good firewall, spyware and antivirus apps installed. Then I'd use analogx's proxy to share the connection. Read the readme file as to how to configure. One note would be that if you have a wired nic on the pc card computer then you can connect to a hub/switch/router and share via wired. The same holds true for wireless but it may be a bit slower and less secure but can still be done. What happens is you share the pc card with either the wired nic or wireless nic to the other systems. There are other free proxies I'd guess but this one seems to work fine and limits ports to some extent to be a bit more secure. I read it wrong and answer it wrong too. So get off my case you goober.

Let me see if I understand you correctly. If I hook the PCMCIA into a laptop which has a wireless card I could then connect that laptop to a router. How exactly would I share the internet connection to the router? From my experience usually you plug the actual connection directly into the router then share it, in this scenario that is not being accomplished so what exactly would I need to do in order to get the verizon Internet Connection going through the router to share with my other computers.

The proxy application translates requests via standard tcp/ip rules from a remote computer to the internet. Because all systems have tcp/ip and nics the means to connect to each other is already in place. All you need to do is point stuff at the correct place. I read it wrong and answer it wrong too. So get off my case you goober.

You don't want to use a wireless router. It very well may interfer with your verizon wireless. Just like you don't want a 2.4ghz wireless phone in the same room. All you need is a switch. It would look like this verizon<>pcmcia[laptop]wired nic<>switch<>other pcs. On the laptop you would run ICS or AnalogX proxy to bridge the wired and wireless connections. Imagine the power if you knew how to internet search

Thanks guys so much. I greatly appreciate your help and time on this matter.
