How to share a LAN Internet Connection over Bluetooth PAN//Ad-Hoc WiFi?


I use a Windows XP Laptop with a LAN connection here at the office. My xp office laptop is connected to the office file server as well as the internet behind the office firewall which requires me to log in via IE so i can access the internet. My personal laptop is a MacBook running OS X and i would like to share the internet connection form my office laptop either over Bluetooth or WiFi.
I know it would be easier to do this from OS X but i need it to be from my xp laptop.
The digram would be:
Internet<=>LAN<=>XP<=>WiFi or Bluetooth<=>Mac OS X
My office laptop acting as a virtual internet router.

Thanks in advance!

Not a problem at all. All you need to do is enable ICS (internet connection sharing) on the XP machine and setup an AD-HOC wifi connection to your OSX. (Bluetooth is tooooo sloooow and too short ranged!) Here is the article at Microsoft on setting this up. (footnote- you may have to change the IP ranges for the ad-hoc system if it is the same as your lan!)

Hope that helps.. and report all the SPAM answers that link to nothing to do with your question!
