Say I wanted to turn my Windows XP machine into a wireless access

point. How would I do that? Would enabling Internet Connection

Sharing be sufficient?

You would need to purchase and install a wireless router.

My son bought a USB device that lets him use other peoples connections

and also broadcast his connection to the pc's with wireless in our home.

Not very fast at all, but very cheap.

I have one, already. However, let's just say that a router does not

suite my purposes. I want to send wireless traffic through a

*computer* so that I may perform an analysis of the traffic - an

analysis that I would not be able to perform with a router.

 

If you must know, specifically, I'm trying to capture packets sent by

select mobile devices with Wireshark. I can't install Wireshark on

these devices nor can I install it on a router.
