| Post subject: | Use a wireless laptop to connect Myth to the internet |
We recently switched from cable to DSL, and as a result, my Mythbox no longer had a wired connection to the internet. This proved to be frustrating as I was in the process of upgrading the Mythbox to wireless, and to do this it is convenient to have a connection to the internet. Fortunately, I have a laptop running WinXP that has a wireless connection. I created a bridge between the Wireless and 10/100 connection on my laptop, and then connected both the Mythbox and my Laptop to a small hub. This effectively created a wireless internet connection for my Mythbox. And the best part is that I can still use the internet on my laptop at the same time. To create the bridge in XP, go here: http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/usin ... ril22.mspx Good Luck! -Speedybits2002 |
