Looks like the client went ahead and got regular Internet service so he doesn't need to share this connection anymore. &nbsp;Thanks much!

Hello all:<br />
<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp;I am trying to configure Internet Connection Sharing ICS on a laptop that has both a Verizon broadband card and a standard wifi card. &nbsp;I want to share the Internet connection that I get from Verizon with the wifi for other laptops to use. &nbsp;I can make this happen with a standard Ethernet cable, but the wifi will not broadcast an SSID nor give out IP addresses? &nbsp;Am I missing something???

Hello all:

   I am trying to configure Internet Connection Sharing ICS on a laptop that has both a Verizon broadband card and a standard wifi card.  I want to share the Internet connection that I get from Verizon with the wifi for other laptops to use.  I can make this happen with a standard Ethernet cable, but the wifi will not broadcast an SSID nor give out IP addresses?  Am I missing something???

ICS for wifi

Wireless networking is a method by which homes, telecommunications networks and enterprise (business) installations avoid the costly process of introducing cables into a building, or as a connection between various equipment locations. Wireless telecommunications networks are generally implemented and administered using radio communication. This implementation takes place at the physical level (layer) of the OSI model network structure. The key hardware components of a wireless computer network include adapters, routers and access points, antennas and repeaters.
