sharing the internet between Laptops wireless without a wifi router

Asked by Mathew P George

ok ....

I've got my Linux run pc connected to the LAN and I want to share the internet to other laptop wireless.
Is there a way out to do this so I can avoid going for a Wifi-Router and save some cost. :)

Also the shared internet (if posible) can it be accessed from the Mob runs on Android which has Wifi connectivity ???

Thanks bro .... for that quick response

unfortunately I don't have 02 Ethernet ports in my laptop ... so I was thinking if there is a way to share the Internet between laptops using the Wifi network (again to to do that I don't have WIfi Router)...

It's like my Laptop is connected through the Ethernet and I could do the browsing in my system ..... I want to share the Internet access with my friend who often visits me. I'm not sure about it but if there is a way to share the Internet without using any wires that would be great.

Mathew,

Ok, now that's a bit more tricky and diffrent from what I initially though. The approach is called an Ad-Hoc network.

I've not tried this, but reading it though, it looks to be what your after.

If that's not it, hit me in the head, as In not getting the question sunk in deep enough :-)
