I have a P3 Desktop and recently bought an HP Laptop dv 2122tu. I have got cable net on my desktop. However, when I tried to connect that cord to my laptop, I am unable to connect to that net. The cable provider says that I ll have to go in for a new connection as one IP Address cannot be used in both. I want to use the net in both, depending on my use. Is there any way that this problem can be solved? Can I connect my laptop to the desktop and through that connect to the net?

Post your IP configuration here
If you are using Static IP, then you can use only one Comp @ a time

assign same IP to LAPPY as that of desktop..

then in ur destop pc go to device manager then in network adatpter get the MAC address of ur adapter..note it down...

download "AMAC" tool and install in ur laptop.. and change the MAC address of ur LAPPY network card to same as that of desktop..

now surf from ur laptop..

look it's not always required to change the MAC address unless ur provider puts a constraint on ur MAC for surfing....

But using my first answer u will be able to surf on both the PC @ same time but @ compromissed speed due to sharing...
