Go into control panel and change something to allow you to use the computer as a router. I had to do this to a buddys lappy for xBox Live through nextG.
yes it uses a usb wireless modem have no idea what setting to change in the control panel if you have any idea would be great
cheers puca

I think it's a box to tick called 'allow other computers to network through this computer'. Sorry, I'm not much help, am I? :P

You can share your dialup internet connection with others that are on the same network, you need to connect the notebooks lan port to the hub with all the other computers. Then you need to assinging the notebooks lan port a static IP address in the same range as the other computers, pick one that's not used obvioulsy.
You then need to go to control panel, network connections,and there you you should have a modem dialup connection icon, you then right on the dialup connection icon and select the let others share this connection option.
You then need to set up the other computers to use the notebooks lan port address as the gateway & dns. Or you can let the notebook be the DHCP server and allocate the IP address for the other computers but I though you might already have a router in place.
