    I have used my iPhone as the source of internet using USB connected to my laptop (Local Area Connection). How do I share the connection to:

    1. a computer connected via Ethernet
    2. a hosted network (laptop's hotspot)

    I managed sharing the connection to the ethernet one by bridging them. But the bridged connection is missing that Sharing tab so I can just share it to my personal hotspot.

    "Lord Cyrus" is the laptop hotspot I created.

    windows xp - How do I share my wireless internet connection over Ethernet?
  • Simon

    I want to achieve the same thing with Windows XP that I do with Mac OS X. On my Mac I use "Internet Sharing" from "Wi-Fi" to "Ethernet".

    What I'm trying to do is connect my freesat top-set box to my wireless connection. The Freesat box only has a wired ethernet connection.

    What I want to do is connect my laptop ethernet connection to the freesat-box ethernet connection and share my laptop's wifi to the laptops ethernet connection

    Edit: Also I need the laptop or the wifi DCHP server to address the freesat-box.
