ICS for Broadband (PPoE) and WLAN

Hi,
I have a broadband connection on my PC, which i connect using one NIC card
installed. I have an office laptop with a wi-fi adapter which i bring home to
work from home. I installed a Wi-Fi adapter on my PC intending to access the
internet by making my PC as a gateway (via wi-fi adapter). I installed the
wi-fi adapter on the PC and configured ICS on the PC. When i run Network
Setup Wizard, it says "The wizard detected that this computer belongs to a
domain. Therefore, you cannot use this wizard to setup a network".

My Laptop ofcourse is a part of my office domain, but i remember when i went
to Germany, we had an Access Point and we used to directly connect to the AP
and get connected to the internet, without setting up ICS or any
configuration for that matter!

There's one more thing, that i can see a wi-fi network when i turn on the
wi-fi adapter on my PC. I even get connected, but i cant access the PC from
my laptop, neither can i access the internet.

Anyone can help on this?

Thanx and regards,
Deepak Tulsani

Hi

To use the Wireless at home as you are configured now you would need to
alter the Wireless installation to Ad-Hoc (which might get you into trouble
at work too), and even then it might not be very stable.

In any case, a very good solution to PPPOE and Wireless is to get a Wireless
Cable/DSL Router (better PPPOE Connection, and better Wireless for less than
$30).

You can then use the Laptop the way you used it in Germany.

These pages might help.

The System should look like this, http://www.ezlan.net/network/router.jpg

To use the Laptop at Home (provided you are allowed to) without changing
works settings.

Configuring a Laptop (or any computer) to connect to more than one Network.
