This is amazing! Especially for small businesses that want to get wifi in their business either for themselves or for customers. Such as mom and pop donut shops or cafes. This should be very interesting nonetheless.

RickD. I run Win7 reasonably well on a 2.4 GHz Dell Inspiron laptop with 1 GB RAM. This old piece of Dell detritus was designed for XP.

You would be surprised about W7 .With the W7 RC out I have put it on a lot of desktops and a few laptops. System requirements only call for a 1 GHz processor. I don't see why it wouldn’t! And it won't cost a thing. I'll let you know how it goes.

Sounds great , but I have no use for this as I only have this one PC ... boy oh boy could I use a little nettop . ha ha

I could really see this going if you have a Company or a larger home where you can setup tethering all around so you could move about freely and only have to have one main access point. I guess it would depend on where people were moving around tho.

WIndows 7 just keeps getting better and better! I kno this has been there before, however, it wasn't as utilized as now.

Its great. If you have desktop system wifi enabled you can use it like a router for your laptop, or phone.

How very instructive - first I think 'hey that's amazing' then I learn I could already do it with Vista on my wi-fi equipped laptop . I wonder how many other features I have never discovered. I'll blame the manufacturer for not including a proper printed manual with the computer - but really its my own laziness and ignorance. Joining tech-spot should remedy the second characteristic ...

As long as it is easy to setup, I might use it!

this could be useful for people with iPod touches, where 1 person has a laptop.
Or a netbook with integrated 3G

Yeh this is very useful, spcially if you have a wifi dead spot. I have a tool like this on my windows mobile and it works really well when you cannot get an internet connection on your laptop!

It definitely could come in handy whenever you have to pay for expensive Wi-Fi & want to share the connection.

Finally, I can put my old laptop to use again.. now I just have to wait to get my hands on a windows 7 copy..., can't wait to try..

I personally see it as being an awesome way to extend my wifi range, and maybe will one day be very helpful for extending range into areas that could not get any high speed internet before. I love the idea it has possibilities even it ends up not working out to well.

Bzeek already supports the same on XP and Vista for free !!!

I mostly use Linux and have Ubuntu 9.10 and Fedora 12(beta) on this laptop with Windows 7 as a new addition. Windows 7 was a free upgrade I got in the mail from Dell.

Connectify will make it very simple for me to let any of my friends use my connection when I travel. It might also make for some interesting fun while at the local cafe' (wink, wink, nod, nod), as sharing your Internet connection on Linux can be somewhat complicated for most people.

An add supported one is a feasible option , hopefully we can play Counterstrike anywhere now.

try better, easier which also provides free global wifi access at www.bzeek.com

Here's a Free, Open Source program like Connectify: http://virtualrouter.codeplex.com

is it possible to share you're connection over wifi even if the computer is hooked up to a LAN? as in can my laptop be used to connect my mobile phone through this
