Old d-link card can't use wpa2

Forum Wireless Networking : General Discussion Old d-link card can't use wpa2

Hello,
I have a Gateway connected to my router with wpa2-psk and have internet access. I have on old Dell with an an old d-link card that can't access the router because it won't do wpa2. I'd like to connect it to the other laptop to gain access to the internet because it is inconvenient to plug the old Dell directly into the router. Any ideas?

I already saw and answered this question on the Networking forum, but here it is again:

You must enable Internet Connection Sharing on the laptop that can connect to the router, then use an Ethernet cable to connect to the old laptop.
