I am experiencing some problems setting up a shared network in my room. My router is downstairs, so i can't directly connect my windows 7 PC which does not have a wireless card. I also have a laptop running windows 7 that is connected to my wireless home network. I have an ethernet Cat 5 cable connecting the laptop to the pc, and have followed many guides to creating an ICS connection between the two. I have enabled the sharing option on the laptop in the control panel, as well as a few other things that I had seen, but have not been able to establish the connection on my PC. Any help is greatly appreciated . Thanks, Cody
