I need a temp solution as I am setting up a PC and only have phone access . As the PC has no wificard yet (got a dongle on its way) I searched around to see if what I am trying is possible.
THis came up 3. if your laptop connects to wifi and has a free ethernet network interface, and if your computer is close to your laptop, you could just do some reconfiguration, put a network cable between laptop and computer and have the laptop share the wifi connection to your pc thru the ethernet cable. Your computer will then access the internet thru the laptop.
Which sounds promising and despite trying to see if anything obvious jumps out in the Network sharing section I cant figure it out... Any suggestions.....its only so I can update drivers and install a bit of software from dropbox etc
