Ok I have used a wireless router for the past year to connect my macbook adn ps3 to my internet connection. But recently my router ceased to work and I am out of an internet connection to two devices. But one of my friends mentioned it was easily possible to turn my main pc into a wireless router. I have done this by using my macbook and its built in wireless card, but I have been stumped on my pc. my dsl modem is right next to my main pc, and barring a extra long phone cord it will stay there. So if anyone can help me out it would be greatly appreciated.
Thing I have:
- windows xp pc
- wireless card, in pc
- ethernet card, internet in here

want to do:
- have the ethernet connection be sent out through the wireless card like a router adn connect macbook and ps3 to it.

I am willing to download/install any free software needed, but I am really looking for a wuick fix without having to buy any new equipment, i.e. a new router.

Sorry if this has been asked before.

You'll need to enable Internet sharing on your Windows XP computer. Go to the control panel and select Network Connections. Right click on your local area connection (wired ethernet) and choose properties. Select the advanced tab and enable Internet Connection Sharing. From the drop down box, you'll select your wireless card as the Home networking connection. You will then need to setup your laptop and PS3 to connect to your wireless card in your desktop. This will be an ad-hoc connection. I don't have a PS3, so I'm not sure if it supports an ad-hoc connection or not. Reading this link might provide you with some further help.
