hi this is my first post on here and i was wondering if anyone could help me.
i have a pc and a laptop both with wireless cards. ive managed to connect the 2 and have gd signal. i went into my internet connection settings and clicked the check box "allow others to connect through this computers internet connection". I checked ip config and i have no IP for mt default gate way. When i open IE it says "detecting proxy settings" in the bottom left corner. If any can help me i would really appreciate it. (so many frustrating hours lol )

HI there and welcome.

My advice to you is NOT to setup Internet connection sharing on an ahdoc wireless network as it is massively unsecure, leaving yourself wide open for "hackers" and spammers.
If you are running a cable or DSL connection you would be wise to invest in an internet gateway router.
Basically its a box that connects to your DSl/Cable line and shares the internet connection to your computers either via cables or wirelessly.
This kind of setup is easy to do and comes with a whole host of security features including a dedicated hardware firewall, a must have on a Broadband connection.

Linksys make some excellent boxes that do just this.
Here are their wireless gateways.

Hope this helps.

Ps there's no need to double post

it sounds like you have the connection coming in from the ethernet connector or a modem and then out through the wireless card. if so you have to bridge the connections. then both can connect. I have a feeling that you are not very computer savy( i may be wrong) and this can be rather hard to figure out. but the easiest is just to pick up a wireless router they are pretty cheap now and easy to setup.
