I agree with Tanveer 100% i have wifi + lan in my office so we have all pcs on LAN with internet and i connect my laptop in my cabin thru wifi thats the best thing No wires No troubles....but when you buy a wifi dont forget to keep it secured by adding WEP or WPA Keys for access...

Anil_S 6 Report post Posted February 13, 2010 it can be done with bluetooth also with incoming connection or lan sharing. It is a trial & error method. Different bluetooth have different options. In some there are option to share lan. In some You have to activate the sharing of your broadband connection. I used it in past to connect my lapi to internet. Later I bought a WIFI router. The pc is to be used as server & lapi has to establish the connection. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
