Hello all...I have two laptops. A Dell XPS running Vista Business @ 2GB for

RAM. The other is a Dell Inspiron running XP Pro @ 1GB RAM. The XPS running

Vista has an internal Verizon Mobile Broadband card in which I have mobile

broadband service.-------I am trying set up my laptops either wirelessly

(which would be awesom) or crossover cable so that the XP Pro comp will be

able to connect through the Vista comp in order to gain internet access. I

have a wireless Linksys router if necesary. I used to have local wireless. I

need to know how to configure IP settings on either the LAN connection of the

Wireless connection. PLEASE HELP...I HAVE A $2000 COMPUTER COLLECTING DUST

UNDER THE COUCH.

Your Wireless router should do the trick. The router, in addition to

allowing wireless connectivity, also has 4 our ports that would allow wired
