Share internet connection using USB760?

Hey I'm kinda new here, and I want to ask the Verizon Community a question...

I have the USB760 mobile broadband device and I want to know if I can share it's internet connection through Ad-Hoc on Windows 7.

I have an Atheros Wireless adapter embedded in my laptopalong with a router at home, where I can connect stuff like my iPod Touch and my sons DS through Wifi, but when my family is on the go, I can't do that. I have to go to McDonald's or another hotspot so I can connect my iPod and stuff to the internet.

Can someone enlighten me?

Thanks.

The easiest way is with a CradlePoint CTR350 portable router. I have one and it works great.

I have a budget, and really don't want to get one right now. Money's tight.

Easiest way to do this is to set up ICS (Internet Connection Sharing) on the notebook using the USB760. Simply share the Wireless Network Connection (the one for the WLAN adaptor you're setting up in ad-hoc) with the dialup connection named "VZAccess" (or a similar named connection).

You cannot make the USB760 a wireless acces point to serve out to other computers and a router. You would need something like the cradlepoint router. The purpose of this router is the connect the USB device directly to that and get the internet connection and the serve out the connection wirelessly.

Can you talk me through how to "Simply share the Wireless Network Connection (the one for the WLAN adaptor you're setting up in ad-hoc) with the dialup connection named "VZAccess" (or a similar named connection)."? Not the sharpest pencil in the box, maybe....

LOL!
