    Sharing Internet Connection on Verizon USB Wireless Adapter?

    What are the options, if any, for sharing the internet connection using a Verizon Wireless USB UM175 adapter? Currently, it is being used on a Desktop out in the middle of nowhere (i.e. no cable, dsl, etc.) and offers about 1/3 of Cable throughput. I'd like to share that connection with another desktop and a laptop.

    Any thoughts, ideas, etc. are appreciated.

    That would be the ticket.

    In theory, you could use what you have and enable ICS - Internet Connection Sharing. (see the windows help file for more info) and get one other pc on line pretty easily.

    I have a few friends who use a CradelPoint Travel router, haven't heard any complaints. The MiFi may be better suited for you however.
