Sharing internet access with other laptops (Verizon card or pay WIFI)

I used to share dial-up on all the computers in my house. Once the dial-up is connected, all computers can access internet at the same time through the same computer that is connected using dial-up.

First you need to connect the two computers on some type of network, such as wired through router, twisted wire, USB or Fire-Wire, or wireless through access point or peer-to-peer.

Then set up the first computer as a gateway and second computer to access the internet through the first one.

Check this out, it's a travel AP/router... I use it when travelling, it not only does broadband, but dial-up! (drop the TellMeMore.html part for the main URL).. Think of it as a portable pocket sized hotspot

What is a WiFlyer? The WiFlyer is a dial-up wireless router - the only such product on the market - optimized for users with dial-up internet access. It is a complete communications hub with an integrated high-speed V.92 modem capable of supporting wired (Ethernet) and wireless network connections (Wi-Fi or

802.11b/g) to a number of PCs, laptops and/or PDAs. It is easy to set up and configure using Internet Explorer and requires no additional software. With its compact and portable size,

you can take it with you anywhere, and it can also serve as a broadband wireless router when connected to an Ethernet Internet connection. Won't do a card, but will use a regular phone line - better than nothin!

Not sure which verizon broadband card you have (some work, some don't, the asterisk in features means see the list of supported data cards/tethered phones), but consider the Kyocera KR1 Router

Enables wireless broadband network with 1xEV-DO PC card or phone* Supports high rates up to 2.4 Mbps (typical download speed of 400-700 Kpbs) Four Ethernet ports for wired connection

802.11b & g for wireless connection Advanced firewall and security control Easy configuration and set-up Smooth migration to future 1xEV-DO releases More Features Both devices are really cool, and wiflyer usually less than $125, and the Kyocera usually less than $189...

Perhaps enable ICS on your computer, and then connect the two computers together with an ethernet cable.

That works but you need to use a "crossover" cable or put a hub/switch in the middle.
