Windows 7 includes a little-known new feature called Virtual Wi-Fi, which effectively turns your PC or laptop into a software-based router. Any other Wi-Fi-enabled devices within range - a desktop, laptop, an iPod perhaps - will "see" you as a new network and, once logged on, immediately be able to share your internet connection.
This will only work if your wireless adapter driver supports it, though, and not all do. Check with your adapter manufacturer and make sure you've installed the very latest drivers to give you the best chance.
Once you have driver support then the easiest approach is to get a network tool that can set up virtual Wi-Fi for you. Virtual Router (below) is free, easy to use and should have you sharing your internet connection very quickly.
If you don't mind working with the command line, though, maybe setting up some batch files or scripts, then it's not that difficult to set this up manually. See Turn your Windows 7 laptop into a wireless hotspot for more.
Hello guys I am Sourav Kumar Patel
I am pursuing my BE degree from IIT Kanpur in Computer Engineering. One of the top wellknown and reputed colleges of India.
I am interested in how computing is creating new opportunities for enterprises of all sizes and how “Clouds”, or cloud services, in general are truly changing the landscape of traditional IT and telco services, resource and service provisioning.
With this blog, my objective is to create an interesting blog site that contains relatively short posts (articles), explaining some of the key elements related computing, technologies and services as well as to publish related news summaries and, finally, to add my own opinions when appropriate.
Please feel free to add your comments to my posts and I will try to answer any questions the best I can.
