Wireless Laptop Computers

How do I get my laptop wirelessly to a wired computer?

Ok, so heres how it is I have a Wireless Access Point on the ground floor and upstairs a wireless computer and I have a wired com that I brought to my room and I want to share my wireless connection to the Internet via a LAN connection. The wireless laptops with Windows Vista, but the wired computer with Windows xp. Can someone help me?

I would not recommend this, Internet Connection Sharing makes the computer into a router. The wireless connection between Vista and the access point will become the bottleneck. However, since your desire to do it, are the instructions to Internet Connection Sharing Setup in Vista and XP hosts fall from the weblinks below. I think that Windows XP, and Vista computers only allow sharing through a wired Internet connection on the host. If this is true, to reach another way, what you want, need a network bridge and an Ethernet crossover cable to the Vista computer (C1) connects to the wired com (C2). Note that the crossover cable has wiring, if the standard cable modified compared a computer connects to a network device. Create a network connection between C1 and C2. IP addresses are configured manually, I think. Before you continue, verify that C1 and C2 can ping each other. Then, on C1, creating the bridge between the new network, wired and wireless Internet connection. Microsoft has to say about this simplification of this configuration: "You should not create a bridge between Internet connection and a network connection, because it creates the an unsecured connection between your network and the Internet, your network accessible to everyone on the Internet. "Good luck
