Imagine a hypothetical story where Bob and Bill are on a train.

Bob has a USB network adapter for his notebook, while Bill does not.

Bill wants internet, but is confused on how to get it.

Bill's laptop has a mini Display Port and Bob's laptop has a mini HDMI port, and they have the connectors to connect them together. Bill heard that you can somehow transfer Ethernet over HDMI and Display Port but he is not sure on how this works.

Both laptops have a USB port but Bob's laptop has an Ethernet port. Bill has a USB port on his laptop but he also has a Ethernet to USB dongle and an Ethernet cable.

Both laptops have bluetooth and wifi.

Bill looked online to see if there would be anyway to do this on Bob's laptop, and some weird "ad-hoc" method does not show up on either laptop.

So Bill went on Bob's laptop and logged onto Tom's Hardware to see if anyone on the internet has a solution to share the network from one computer to another.

Thanks!

Yeah sorry about that I just was tired about using the word "I" in every other post.

Yes, it is coming from 3g/4g.
