Mobile Broadband Sharing

Hello all...I have two laptops. A Dell XPS running Vista Business @ 2GB for
RAM. The other is a Dell Inspiron running XP Pro @ 1GB RAM. The XPS running
Vista has an internal Verizon Mobile Broadband card in which I have mobile
broadband service.-------I am trying set up my laptops either wirelessly
(which would be awesom) or crossover cable so that the XP Pro comp will be
able to connect through the Vista comp in order to gain internet access. I
have a wireless Linksys router if necesary. I used to have local wireless. I
need to know how to configure IP settings on either the LAN connection of the
Wireless connection. PLEASE HELP...I HAVE A $2000 COMPUTER COLLECTING DUST
UNDER THE COUCH.

Your Wireless router should do the trick. The router, in addition to
allowing wireless connectivity, also has 4 our ports that would allow wired
connection to one or both computers.
