Have asked on one of the other forums here but to no avail...so time to check out you Techie's n see if you can save me !!
Basically I have a main PC that connects directly to the web via a Router, this PC also has a wireless card in it - what I am trying to do is connect a 2nd PC which is in another room which also has a wireless card in it, to the main PC via the wireless cards and share the Interweb connection..
I used to have this set-up but when my mate buily my new main PC and stuck a new wireless card in etc its not worked since - I have no clue where to start other than tried briding the connection etc but all that does is stop me from connecting to the web at all.
The one thing I have noticed is on the previous PC once it booted up the little wireless icon in the tray on bottom right of the screen, was always active and the connection was available - however on the new machine I have never seen the wireless connection showing as available.
Where do I start / What do I need to check - I think its going to be my mate not having set up the new card etc in my main machine.. but I am a bit of a tech no0b
Be gentle !
