I have my large notebook hooked up to the Internet through USB into a cable modem. Is there a way to transmit what I am receiving through USB across the WLAN radio and also secure it? I'd love to be able to just turn on the WLAN radio on my ASUS and share the cable connection wirelessly without having to buy a wireless router ...
what you're looking to do is "internet connection sharing" and an "ad-hoc wireless network". Google should have tons of guides how to set this up
once upon a midnight dreary, while i pron surfed, weak and weary, over many a strange and spurious site of ' hot xxx galore'. While i clicked my fav'rite bookmark, suddenly there came a warning, and my heart was filled with mourning, mourning for my dear amour, " 'Tis not possible!", i muttered, " give me back my free hardcore!"..... quoth the server, 404.

I think this is what you're looking for.
I Don't know if the "ASUS" supports Ad-Hoc, or if your USB connnected modem will send the internets over, but it can't hurt to try.

I'd look at it in detail but can't at the moment. But is it encrypted? I don't want my neighbors tapping in.

OK, just read that Microsoft article (love their support website). It looks like it should work. My EEE has XP SP3, so it should work. Just curious if the computer will use the cable modem and be able to transmit the signal ... we'll find out this afternoon! Thanks!!!
OK, read a Microsoft guide to setting it up. Turns out it only works through an Ethernet-based wireless connection. I got the ad-hoc wireless network set up and everything without any issues (took less than 2 minutes), but hit a road block at the Ethernet requirement. Oh well.
It can be done, though, people!!!!

Windows does not like bridging WLAN to WLAN, even with dual adapters. Had a lot of "fun" trying that out...
The idea of any hi-fi system is to reproduce the source material as faithfully as possible, and to deliberately add distortion to everything you hear (due to amplifier deficiencies) because it sounds 'nice' is simply not high fidelity. If that is what you want to hear then there is no problem with that, but by adding so much additional material (by way of harmonics and intermodulation) you have a tailored sound system, not a hi-fi. - Rod Elliot, ESP
OK - looking for some help now on this:
I have the Acer connected through Ethernet to the Internet now and that connection works. I have the wireless radio turned on and I know it works. I have the ad-hoc wireless network set up and the connection between the two computers is saying that they are connected, but my EEE PC cannot connect to the Internet.
Both are XP SP3 computers.

I don't know about XP, but in Vista, it's just to mark the two connections and then right-click on either and choose "Bridge".
EDIT: Just checked on my CP machine, and that should work.

What am I supposed to do???
Go to network connections, mark the two you want to bridge, then right-click on either and select "Bridge connections".CapnNismo wrote:

OK - I'll give that a shot later on. I have to head out an meet an English student in a bit. Karma if it works!
