Hello guys, so let's say I have internet on my laptop from the Wifi connection, and I am also connected to the router by Ethernet, in which I want to share my internet connection. I know I can't give it internet through the physical internet plug on the router, but I think its possibly to share it through the router (using some LAN or Windows' weird sharing system).
I searched a bit, but i keep running into the stuff I don't want (all related to phone tethering).
Any help would be great!

You might find all of this silly, but there is a meaning behind all of it of course.

Thanks a lot !
You could grab a cheap Wi-Fi adapter and teather it. Or you could bridge the Wi-Fi and LAN adapters together, and then connect it to the router.
you can share in any way you want, just go to properties in network adapters and tell them to share thru x connection

That's what I'm trying to do, but how will they connect to it through the router, here is what I have:
I went to the wireless adapter properties, and shared it through my Ethernet adapter.
My problem now is how will the others connect to it through the router?

Thank you.
do you have a dsl modem or a router?

I gave a Linksys WAG120N by Cisco, and its a modem router.
Fixed it!
Here's where I got the solution.
Basically, I had to make sure the Ethernet on the router were treated as WAN (from the router settings) and that the router should obtain IP address automatically.
Ok guys, I managed to come up with a new problem :P , so the router modem I have (Linksys WAG120N) is terrible, I made a mistake buying it a while ago... (I bought it thinking it will be as good as one of their other routers that I have which is excellent).
The first problem was, only I could connect to it. I tried changing many settings, and still had the same problem.
So I reset it, and now I can't connect to it, even by Ethernet, my laptop detects the router but it doesn't connect to it. So I can't access the settings page.
Any help would be great. It has the latest firmware
If this router doesn't work properly at some point, I might buy a new router (not modem) for internet sharing, so I welcome any suggestion/recommendation of what to buy (cheaper the better).

Thanks again.
i was going to suggest on making sure you had it plugged on wan if your router had it, anyway what do you mean by only you were able to connect to it ? as for accessing the setting page, the ip should be written under your router, if it doesn't work then try another web browser

Exactly like I said, only I could connect to it, whoever tried to connect couldn't. And then after resetting it, I couldn't open the settings page or anything. The IP address would be unavailable in the properties of the device...

..... My bad, the problem was that I was still "sharing the internet", had to make sure I unchecked the sharing.
i can't recreate the idea in my head, anyway did everything work out now ?
If you are using windows 7, then the IP address of the the connection, that you want to transmit the internet on, should be 192.168.137.1. It doesn't work if you use any other IP address in windows 7 (trust me I dealt with this issue). And the other device receiving the connection can be any IP address between 192.168.137.2 and 192.168.137.255. Use static IP addresses on both devices.

Btw when you go to properties and share a connection, the IP address of the other connection that will transmit the internet will automatically change to 192.168.137.1 . SIMPLY DON'T CHANGE IT!
@khatib1, I'm not playing with any IP addresses, the router/pc handle everything.
@shant, Yes everything worked out, although the router is very annoying, it randomly restarts and so on.
a month later
you could share your laptop WIFI connection with the same Wireless Adapter you are connected to
go to cmd open it as admin

write these 2 commands

netsh wlan set hostednetwork mode=allow ssid=LEBGEEKS key=123456789

netsh wlan start hostednetwork

and then go to Network and Settings
change adapter settings
you should see here two wireless adapters .. 1rst one is your laptop and 2nd is a virtual adapter
memorize your virtual adapter name .. example Wireless Network Connection 2
then right click on your laptop wifi adapter .. properties .. sharing
enable the Allow other network users to connect throught this computer internet connection
and choose your 2nd virtual wireless adapter name and click ok
your done :)

PS : You wont see the SSID broadcasting on your laptop but other laptops or phones can see it and connect to it

if you want to stop it : netsh wlan stop hostednetwork
