This feature is built into windows 7 all you have to do is go to network and sharing centre, > manage network adapters right click on your internet connection (in your case i'm guessing it will be wired) and click properties, go to sharing and tick the box saying allow other users to connect through this computers internet connection.

Hope this answers your question!

It's easier to just go to that manage network adapters and highlight all of them, and then right click, bridge connections. This allows you to plug in the internet into any of the ports and it still just works instead of setting it up specifically for one device to be the master.

hey hi !!
there are a lots of application available on net to turn ur win7 running pc into a router whish allows to share ur pc internet connections to other devices such as iPhones, wifi enabled smartphones and even another windows running pc.
after testing by my own i reccomend you :- !. CONNECTIFY, 2. VIRTUAL ROUTER.

these 2 freeware application can run on any window running (win7, vista, xp) pc or laptop.
hope this will serve ur need.

:bounce: I purchased Belkin N150 USB WIRELESS ADAPTOR . After Installing the CD, I tried to enable to router in Win 7. I went through all the notes above but found that MANAGER INTENET CONNECTIONS OR PROPERTIES ARE NOT AVAILABLE. SHOULD I BUY A ROUTER TO ENABLE WI FI ????? :cry: :cry:
