[QUOTE="Sabrina2000, post: 1194400, member: 191646"] Hello Mr.Plow I looked at that thread, thanks, but it doesn't actually address the issue I have. I have no problem with internet access off the HUAWE mobile usb O2 stick on my macbook.....it was a nuisance to set up, especially with everything being in German, and we don't speak a word of German, but somehow or other, and with some tooing and froing to the shop where we got the stick from, it was all up and running and connects and works fine. The issue is whether we can share the macbook HUAWE connection/wirelessly on a network, on 2 windows laptops - one xp and one vista. I have created a network on the macbook - I think - and the network name appears as a wireless network available to connect to when we switch on the windows laptops, but it doesnt work........what we want to know is if we are wasting our time because maybe what we're trying to do is not possible ? and if it is possible, can someone help us figure out what we are doing wrong? Thank you. Sabrina. PS - just to clarify/summarise: we have internet connection off the HUAWE usb stick which is an O2 dongle, on the macbook. We want to share that internet connection with 2 windows laptops vista+xp. Have set up a network to do this but its not working. Confused about correct network settings and location settings. The macbook says we are connected to internet via ethernet 2 connection and shows HUAWE mobile as not connected ( but we are connected to internet fine) . [/QUOTE]
