[QUOTE="krishan, post: 1187833, member: 192585"] [b]eternity addu[/b] Hi, I am aware i can share a ethernet connection but i dont have an ethernet connection as described above :Smirk: cool so i get you cannot share wifi while connected using wifi- ie using 1 adapter as you can do on windows 7 with connectify. [B][U]my following question is thus[/U][/B] so what if i got another wifi adapter- ie a usb external wifi adapter. [U]then[/U] [LIST] [*]so my inbuilt wifi connects to the normal wifi [*]the external usb is used to share the connection [/LIST] therefore 2 adapters [LIST] [*]1st connected to the wifi [*]2nd acting as the hotspot sharing the connection [/LIST] hence i am connected to wifi and also sharing it as a hotspot to the other devices that need it. :) [/QUOTE]
