Re: Sharing a wireless connection with other computers

Hello,

Yes, I am trying to use a friends wireless connection. I live an an
apartment, and he lives a few doors down and had given me permission to use
his connection. He has a wireless router. So I thought I could set it up so
that I could use his connection with my wireless card in one computer and
share it with the two other computers on my network, since I cannot run a
cable down the hall into his appartment. Will that work? Thanks again!
