Is This Possible?! Please Help
 
can i use my vogue as a modem for one laptop then connect my laptop to another laptop via ethernet cord and then bridge the connection so that both laptops can be on the internet?

You could try Windows Internet Connection Sharing (ICS). As long as there are two network connections listed you should be able to share one of them (the tethered one). You may run into issues with the IP subnets being the same since Windows forces the 192.168.0.x range with ICS and the phone uses a 192.168.x.x range as well. Let us know if it works!

No, not very easily. Windows will see most tethering setups as a dial-up connection. Windows (by default) will not allow you to bridge a dial-up connection to another broadband connection on your computer. I'm sure there's a way around this, I just haven't found it yet. If you can somehow get windows to think it is another broadband connection, you should be able to bridge the connection.

In order to bridge the connection via ethernet to another PC, you will first of all need a crossover network cable (not the normal patch cable that most people have laying around). Then you will need to set a static IP for both network cards on both PCs.

Getting your computers connected is the easy part. Bridging a dial-up connection will be more difficult.
