Windows 10: Trying to share internet from two windows pcs using USB

So I have this old Windows XP era PC that is running windows 7, I think I can maybe get windows 8 on there or 10 if im lucky, but anyway, since its from the early XP era of PCs it does not have a Internet card in it, by that I mean wi9fi, it has a dialup modem but I cant use dialup and ethernet is also out of the question as of right now, SO then I tried connecting my Windows 11 PC to the old one via USB C and a USB A to C adapter but nether of them can detect eachother, I just need internet to work for a few minutes to activate some Sofware so I was wondering how I can do that.

Is it possible to share internet connection via remote desktop?

RDP is not capable of Internet sharing, so you can't share Internet using RDP with standard applications. There are many way to share Internet from a Windows box to another one. I suggest you to use VPN. You should do following steps:

1. Run VPN Server on your server with unlimited internet access
   
2. Connect to VPN server from your limited computer

There is only two ways to share the internet connection on our device with your laptop:

• Via USB.
• Via Bluetooth.

So, if you have a data connection, just enable the Internet conection sharing and connect your device to the USB port and you will be good to go.

Hello Graham,

We regret the inconvenience and we also appreciate the time and effort you have put in to resolve the issue. Let me assist you.

Before we proceed further, let us know a few more details on the below questions.

• 
  What is the make and model of the laptop you are using?
  
• 
  Did you make any changes to the computer prior to the issue? Is it an abrupt issue?
  
• 
  Did you verify if the Internet connection Services is running?
  
• 
  Are you normally connect to internet even when the network sharing fails?
  
• 
  Do have any System Restore point set in Windows prior to the issue?
  

We also need which of the following cases of network sharing applies to your case:

1. One laptop using its Ethernet connection for Internet access and its WiFi adapter to broadcast.

2. One laptop that is connected to the Internet through a mobile USB modem and broadcasts the wireless network through its WiFi adapter.

As an initial recommendation, I suggest you to check if the following steps help to resolve the issue.

Step-1. Disable wi-fi adapter.

Step-2. Enable it again.

Step-3. Create wi-fi hot spot again.

Step-4. Now share network connection from where internet is connected to wi-fi hotspot adapter.
