Sharing of Mobile internet connection
Hi, i need some help on this issue.
If i am using the mobil internet with USB modem from Qtel on my current notebook, is it possible to share the connection with another notebook (ie: a friend's notebook nearby) ?
Can someone pls help me how to setup this if possible.
Thank you.
