No. I remember trying to link my friends laptop with mine and failing. I did however work it out much later after i had bought a router. I know that Vista is different to XP but heres how to do it for XP. I have done it on a laptop with vista but only once, i dont know if it was a problem with the computer but it wouldn't work again. However here is how to do it with XP, if you have a different operating system then this probably wont help you. To connect the two computers you need to set up an ad-hoc connection. this is a temporary connection you set up to connect the computers. To do this you should open up Wireless network connections. you can do this by double clicking the wireless computer icon in the right hand side of the taskbar. Then click 'Change advanced settings' on the left side of the window. This brings up a different window. Select the 'Wireless Networks' tab at the top. Then click the 'Add...' button. Type a network name and deselect 'The key is provided for me automatically' and type your own network key. Remeber this key. Then tick the box at the button that says 'This is a computer-to-computer (ad hoc) network; wireless access points are not used'. Select OK. Go back to the wireless networks and ensure your wireless is activated. Search for wireless networks. Your ad hoc connection should be there; connect to it. Then search for the network on your other laptop. it should show up. connect to it. You will have to enter the network key. Your laptops should be connected. If you intend to game on them you may need to deactivate the firewalls. If you want to share files or a printer you should allow file and printer sharing.

How do you Connect two computers through the internet One wireless one cablemodem NO router?
You would need a router with wireless.Or...You would need a switch or hub, a wireless access point, and two IP's from your cable service provider. In the long run, the first option would be easier and probably less expensive.Updated:If one of the computers had both wired and wireless connections, you could use ICS (Internet Connection Sharing).... that would be even worse than #2. lol
