Connect Laptop to PC
Have a laptop and is there anyway that I can connect it to my PC and run it through that computer? Both have Vista. Am not wanting to file share, transfer or anything else, just use the laptop without disconnecting my PC then connect everthing up to laptop. Laptop has wireless capabilities but PC is DSL. Thank you for any advice and any help.

Without getting a router, you could do it with a crossover cable

They're only a couple of quid.

But i recomend getting a rauter.
Crose over meens non of your computers are online.
But its a good way to mave data from one to the other without goin over Wan.
But i would just get a rauter or a swich if you dont need to be on the net .
