Please log in for more thread options Hi, I just got my Dell M1330 laptop with a built-in 5720 EVDO Verizon wireless card. The laptop has Vista on it. Someone told me that you cannot network to other computers (my Dell XP desktop) with the internal Verizon card. They said I would need an external USB Verizon card and a CradlePoint router in order to get internet on my desktop from the wireless laptop connection. Anyone had success networking an internal built-in card or is it true I need to get the USB card to make this work? Thanks! ------------------------------------------------------------------------ View this thread: http://www.wirelessforums.org/showthread.php?t=36957 http://www.wirelessforums.org | |||||||||||||

Please log in for more thread options I think you should be able to share the connection with ICS (Internet Connection Sharing) and a network connection between the two computers (wired or wireless). -- Best regards, FAQ for Wireless Internet: <http://Wireless.wikia.com>
