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

    Use Internet Connection sharing (built into Windows). See
    <http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-vista/Using-ICS-Internet-Connection-Sharing>

    For connecting another single computer, the crossover cable should
    work. For connecting more than more than one additional Ethernet
    device (e. g. printer and laptop), you'll also need an Ethernet Hub or
    Switch (for your purposes, the two are identical). A 5-port switch is
    under $30. A hub is a few bucks cheaper.

    Or if your printer has a USB port in addition to the Ethernet
    connection, just connect it via USB to one of the laptops and use the
    Printer Sharing feature of Windows to make it accessible to the other
    laptop over your ad hoc network.

    Or if both laptops have WiFi or Bluetooth, you might be able to
    configure them to talk to each other that way instead of via the
    crossover cable, then using the crossover cable for the printer to
    either of the laptops (and hence to the other one via printer sharing).

I can connect one laptop to the net through my Casio cellphone, but I don't know how to make the other cellphone and the new printer/fax access the net through the laptop connected to the cell phone.
