Share wi-fi net connection using wi-fi?

Is it possible to share wi-fi internet connection using another wi-fi
card? How should I configure Windows to work that way?

thanks in advance

Not without multiple wireless cards, sorry

Not sure what you mean, but by sharing something like:

You have a laptop, with two wireless cards, one giving an internet pipe, and
the other you want to use to share the internet pipe with another computer
that has at least one wireless card?

If so, it shouldn't be too difficult. Just bridge the two cards together,
ICS, and use adhoc to connect the second card with the other computer.

Begs the question of "why", though. If the other computer is in range of
the first computer's wireless card, then wouldn't it be in range of the AP,
anyway? Are you trying to circumvent some type of pay-for hotspot by being
able for two people to be connected but only pay for one? (I could care
less, I'm sure that goes on all the time. Hell, I'd probably do it also.
Just curious as thats the only reason I can see doing the above.)

Cheers,
Eric

Exactly, that's the case.

Exactly, I just want to share my internet connection with my brother who
lives the same flat, why should we pay double? Our price is the decrease
of bandwidth.

Thank you for your explanation.

Bridge and ICS are two different topics.
Bridging probably would not work, ICS probably would.

Do you already have an access point or wireless router?

If so, just connect his laptop to the AP.

Yes ICS works too but why do that which would mean that your laptop
would have to be permanently on whenever he needed to connect to the
internet. Just add an access point if you don't already have one, that's
what they're for.
