if you do not have a WIFI-Adapter for your Desktop PC, you could hook it up to your LAN of your Laptop and share the internet.
[cc lang=”bash” escaped=”true” width=”600″]
cp -v /etc/network/{interfaces,interfaces.bak}; # backup your existing network configuration
vim /etc/network/interfaces; # edit configuration
# setting up a bridge is similar to setting up a normal network-device
# setup bridge with fixed ip
auto br0
iface br0 inet static
address 192.168.0.123
netmask 255.255.255.0
gateway 192.168.0.1
bridge_ports wlan0 eth0
bridge_fd 5
bridge_stp no # depending on your network, you might want to set this to yes
# now save and close
# run
/etc/init.d/networking restart; # restart networking service
[/cc]
you are now ready to connect a PC to your LAN port of your Laptop and share the Wifi-internet connection.
