Can I route wireless internet to other computers with a 5 port ethernet adaptor?

My friend receives wireless internet on his laptop. My other computers dont have that function. But I do own a 5 port ethernet adaptor. Is there a way I can route the wireless internet to the other computers with that adaptor?

No. In order to "route" wireless internet access to other computers, you must use a "wireless" router. Every computer must have a properly configured wireless NIC (available in PCMCIA, USB, or PCI slot designs). Ethernet means it is a wired connection using ethernet cable with RJ-45 connectors. The 5 port ethernet adaptor can be used to share one internet connection with 5 computers.

Yep, you can, without any problems, however you bandwidth per computer will go down of course, but if you don't do on-line gaming, then that shouldn't be a problem. Just hook other comps to the 5 port switch.
sure, plug them into the router.
You can set the machine with wireless adapter to share its internet connection and then connect the lan port on the same machine to the other computers.
If you have a wireless router,you can do it.with a wireless router your laptop can get connection........if you have a wireless router with 5 ethernet ports in it,you can connect the PCs to the ports.
install a proxy server in the pc where you have wlan. i suppose ypu have a normal nic also in that same pc. connect that to your switch/hub and plug in the other pcs to this switch/hub. lots of proxs are available for free download ..



you will need to configure your browser on the other machines as well as the prxy server
