I'm not sure how I can help you! I'll ask around on other lists! I'm sure
somebody would know!

Subject: [accesscomp] Turning my Laptop into a Wireless Router
Okay here's a complicated one, at least for me. Thought I would ask all my
friends here because I'm desperate.
I'm going in a week or so to a location where their will be only a wireless
internet connection available. I need to attach my IP phone to the Ethernet
port of my Windows XP based laptop so I can work. I thought of bringing my own
router and trying to configure it as an access point but, I'm not sure I could
make that work so this seems like the safest way. I'm sure open to ideas.
I have been trying to use internet connection sharing or network bridging
under XP but, then it won't connect to the wireless network any more, maybe
because I think you need three adapters, one with internet connection sharing
enabled, and the other two for the bridge. Am I wrong about that? Bridging
only seems to work when you are using a wired internet connection. There has
to be an easy way to accomplish this. Thanks in advance for any thoughts and
feel free to write me privately.
