I've got two computers...both have wireless cards, but only one can be plugged in to the campus network. I need both to have connectivity to the net, even if it is JUST web browsing. Is there a way to get one to use the other's connection through the wireless cards? I've checked in to proxy servers but have found nothing, if anyone can show me a website that will allow me to run a proxy server on Windows XP, please do. If there is another method than a proxy server, please tell me about that.
 
What about getting a wireless router? The two computers will use the router and the router plugs into your school connection.
 
Any software solutions? I don't feel like spending any money, and if I bought a router it would have to spoof the mac address of the computer currently connected to the campus network, plain routers on the other hand do not have to spoof. Anyone know of a free proxy Daemon that I could put on a windows XP computer?
 
if u hav a Win Xp computer, u can set up one of them to act as a router. I'm using that, and since u control the port number gates and all, its nifty. All you do is run the network set up wizard, if u don't know how to do it the 1337 way

What is it called? You're not talking about internet connection sharing are you? I've got the two computers networked ad-hoc with the wireless card. I've tried to set the two up to work like that. Maybe I should try the wizard then, because I have no idea what I'm doing, but I don't want to goof up the settings on the computer that is online already and have no internet on either.

FYI this is completely within campus regulations. They could care less if I had 1 computer or 1000 hooked up to the line, because I can only use 1 gig of downstream and 500 meg of upstream data transfer per day.
 
Yes i mean the sharing internet connection.. Using wizard will make u understand better.. see how it works out.
