    It can be done but its a pain to set up most the time.

    Do you not have a router that you can connect your Laptop to?

    Or is your PC connected directly to a Modem that only has 1 Ethernet connection?

    You can, but a cheap ethernet router would be easier....

    I tried a lot of times, each time resulting in a complete failure, my internet is fiber optic , ethernet with mac filtering , i mean , my internet connection works only on my desktop , if i want to work on my laptop i must change MAC

    Ok my friend gave me an Speedtouch ST546 V6 with 4 ethernet.My ISP said i can't connect it because it was originaly used for ADSL connection and i can't use it to link 2 pc's togheter because it will spread ips al over his network , <--what the hell suppose to mean.What i want to make , is to change this modem's mac adres so i can put my laptop and desktop pc to internet.
