Hello,

This is my first SAF posting and I'm hoping somebody will help me.

I have a Laptop running XP, which I used to connect to my PC (which used to also run XP) via a cable. The former used to be able to connect to the Internet via the PC Broadband connection. Perfect! However......

I upgraded my PC which now runs Vita (Arghhhhhh) and I don't know how to reproduce the same connection ie: access the Internet using my laptop, connected to my PC via a LAN cable. confused.gif

Any assistance will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
