Yes, Connect the Router's-USB to old pC (with drivers of USB packed with router) and Router's-ethernet to new laptop! N then search the forums coz this has been answered a 100 times here!

I surrender. Here's the solution .

1. Make sure they r pingable

2.
Turn on all the needed services like
1. Internet Connection Sharing and windows firewall
2. Print and file sharing
3. Netbios over tcp/ip
4. Simple file sharing(folder options)
5. All the other corresponding services in services.msc!

3.
Edit regkey from hexadecimal "1" (or wateva) to "0":

HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Lsa\restrictanonymous.

Ur done!
