Re: [IBCP] How to tie two laptops and a printer together, + Verizon Am.Choice cellphone

The Microsoft article shows the internet connection coming in from a
broadband modem via Ethernet. But that's just an example, not a
requirement. Windows Internet Connection Sharing (ICS) can be
configured to work with a variety of connection types.

I have done this with either a tethered cellphone (USB) or a USB WiFi
adapter providing the Internet link to my laptop, and the single laptop
Ethernet port providing the ad hoc local network connection to my wife's
laptop. That was a few years ago with Windows XP, but I presume that
the ICS on Vista and Windows 7 is at least that capable too.
