I assume you don't have enough ports on you current cable box or router. Try a new router, that will give you the extra port for your wired laptop here (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16833320026).
Respond back if this isn't the solution you need. Also, instead of creating new threads, just make a new post, maybe giving a more info on your problem or just typing "Bump".

you will have to reconfigure the Ethernet port on the computer with Internet as a residential gateway. hink i have how to do that saved on my other computer. let me know if you still need it after this. google "how t share internet fro m computer to computer" some good links should come up.
