Internet sharing on two computers

Does anyone know how to share the internet connection in windows connection manager sharing the connection that pops up on my computer when I use the built in Internet Sharing on my Sprint TP. I used that app USB Modem and shared the connection via Ethernet and it worked on both my computers that way but with the built in app it conflicts saying IP address already in use cannot be shared. I would like to use the app that came with the phone becasue it is much faster that the other options I've tried. I already did the mods to use it as sprint and not PAM.

Anyone that knows how two get two computers up and running off the TP or has instructions would be greatly appreciated!

Wow, I never saw that router that may help me with another thing I'm doing on another phone. On the TP I ended up changing some ip settings away from the same ones windows connection sharing uses.

or you can download wmwifirouter and setup a wifi network from your phone. works great for me when i actually need to use it.

Ya the wmwifirouter works great.. just keep your phone in a cool spot or put it on a chill pack to keep the temp down.. otherwise you would be able to charge the phone while you are using it and the software will munch through a battery.

You might want to check out this thread for the freeware version. The latest release is a trial, but you have to purchase. (And I did purchase to support this great product)
