I have a laptop downstairs, this one, with Windows XP Pro on it.
I have a switch/router/hub so I could connect this laptop to that, and run an ethernet cable from the hub to my laptop upstairs (with Knoppix on the HD)
Could I then use the internet upstairs if I turned on ICS on my Windows Laptop?
Or... Could I possibly use a proxy server on this computer and just set proxy settings for everything on knoppix?

Any ideas welcome
