Hye! I tried to set up a peer to peer wireless network where it is possible to access the internet.
It goes as follows: my 1st notebook is connected with a cable to the internet. It has a wireless card in it. SO,with my second notebook I want to make a wireless connection to my 1st notebook who has a cable-internet-connection,so I can access the internet with my second laptop without needing a Access Point or a UTP cable. How do I have to do this? Sorry for my poor English!

You need to enable ICS (internet connection sharing) on the PC with the direct connection to the internet. You do this by running the network setup wizard on the PC with the internet connection and then tell the wizard that it is connecting directly to the internet, and then enable ICS and or file sharing. Reboot the PC and then run the network setup wizard on the wireless one and tell it how it connects to the internet. The IP address of the wireless card on the host pc will be 192.168.0.1. that is windows default. That address will be the default gateway for the wireless pc. If you need further help, then read over this tutorial found here. homenethelp.com
