    Sharing a Clear USB broadband connection with several laptops
    Hello
    I Have one Clear USB wireless adapter connected to a laptop and it can go online.

    I have 5 laptops (including the one with the clear USB) with wifi adapters connected to a work group ad hoc .


    How do I allow all of the laptops to connect to the Internet through the one laptop with the Clear USB adapter ?

    Thanks for any help , The laptops are for an after school program for high school kids .

    I assume you have a router/hub to which the computers are hooked up to.
    Enable ICS (internet connection sharing) on the laptop in question. Control Panel-->Network Settings--->advanced-->Share this internet connection--->choose your USB adapter internet connection.

    The ICS machine IP will be 192.168.0.1, and connected to the WAN side of the router. The other computers will be hooked up to the router LAN ports.

    You will have to configure your router afterwards. Do you get your internet through Wifi using the USB adapter?
