If your router supports both USB as well as Ethernet interfaces, you can use them for each of your devices. I personally haven't tried it out, but my school library has two computers sharing a single connection in that way.

1. Proceed as in post I gave before
2. Since ur sharing via LAn, open network connections and double click the Ethernet/Lan connection=>Properties,
3. In tcp/IP section, fill 192.168.0.1 in static IP (of laptop)
4. Similarly in ur, fill 192.168.0.2 in static IP(of Desktop)
5. U can fill the DNS entries by finding ur present DNS entries or u can get much efficient and less crowded public DNS servers. Google "public dns servers" for that!

Ur done!

i have not tried yet ,it may possible .just attached a usb cable on both system .first keep adress un changed means let it gain automatic ip adress .
if it does not work then give ip adress fallowing "mediator" thread process.

@manshia : I hope i dont have to repeat. Ur case is same as that of @ravi. U wanna connect laptop to laptop. U can do that via ethernet (as in case of @ravi) or connect wirelessly. In either case u just need to configure the interface in the same way as I explained!

Connect the lappy to Internet as u connect via USB. Then connect Lappy with desktop via ethernet. Then follow as said! Read carefully and follow!
