The setup detailed in this guide: a wireless router and a PC with a network card and wireless card. This PC (PC One) will connect to the router via wireless. A network cable will then be connected between PC One and the next PC, PC Two. PC Two will get its internet through PC One.
Go to Control Panel > Network and Internet > Network Connections. PC One will have something similar to the screenshot below.
Right click on the wireless adapter. Now select Properties.
Under the Sharing tab, select the option: “Allow other network users to connection through this computer’s Internet connection”.
Now, select the wired network adapter. Right click, go to Properties. Under the default Networking tab, left click Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4). Now click Properties.
Select the button “Use the following IP address:”. Copy the numbers below into your window. Remember, this is PC One’s wired adapter. Click OK once you’re done.
Under PC Two, go to Control Panel > Network and Internet > Network Connections. Select the wired network adapter that you will be using to connect the cable between the two PCs to. Now, select the wired network adapter. Right click, go to Properties. Under the default Networking tab, left click Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4). Now click Properties. Copy these numbers into the window. Note that this is nearly identical to the previous step, except that the IP address for PC Two is 80.1.1.2, instead of 80.1.1.1. Click OK through all the windows, and you should be good to go. Just don’t forget to connect the network cable.
