    Default Two Laptop Wireless Networking?

    can anyone just give me the basics for this?
    I need to share my dsl with another laptop. I have two wireless cards. Apart from ICS software do I need anything else?

    I read in some places that the 'server' needs two NIC cards?

    can someone please point me in the right direction on this one..

    cheers

    Bug - Providing you have two wireless cards, all you need is a wireless DSL access point.

    Providing ALL you want is to file share ,then all you need is what you have.
    Just the same as peer to peer hard wired m8.

    You should be able to get a wireless DSL router for about £120 - this goes into your DSL connection and works like a hub for your wireless connection, allowing you to share the connection without cables..
    Your best bet is to make sure that the manufacturer of the router is the same as your wireless cards to ensure compatability.

    D-Link and Belken are both bringing out wireless routers with integrated ADSL modems, within the next few weeks m8!

    Both with integrated firewalls and MAC spoofing.

    all you need is the 2 wireless cards mate, you can share internet with ics as long as you have the host pc turned on, using laptop through dsl on main pc at the moment.
