Exclamation Internet Connection Sharing Program (not MSFT ICS) needed
I'm looking for a simple (preferably portable) program that will allow me to connect use a laptop to connect that's connected to a hardwired or wireless LAN to a router that can then create a new wireless LAN. Many reasons to do this... sometimes I'm in a hotel and can connect my laptop to the hotel internet after logging on, but would then like to "rebroadcast" a wireless LAN so that I can connect wifi Blackberry/iPhone etc to the Internet. Other occassions, like right now, are when I have a weak wireless signal and want to setup a local (stronger) AP for my other devices.

I know ICS would be a good solution, but at least one of the machines I use has had ICS locked down and I'd prefer to have something that I can literally turn on and off by starting a program vs messing with options and config

There used to be a program called pipe-ip (I think) that did this, but I haven't been able to find it.

Thanks, Dev
