Hello all, recently I've been trying to share my laptop's wireless connection with my desktop through the laptop's Ethernet adapter to the PC's. It wont work if the two are plugged directly into each other, however will if their is a router in between the connection.
While attempting to share a connection with no router no lights blink at all on either my pc or laptop around their ethernet ports; its almost as if no current is running through the wire without the router.

I just tried this with my desktop & laptop & it worked fine. I don't know how you did it but my steps:

Share wi-fi connection on laptop
Plug ethernet cables between desktop <-> laptop
Laptop changed its cable IP to a pre-configured one (192.168.137.1)
Desktop used DHCP and got IP address 192.168.137.79, default gateway 192.168.137.1.

Voilá.

It sounds like you let your router be the DHCP, are you possibly setting static ip addresses?

either my laptop's not changing its IP or my desktop isnt using DHCP. any recommendations on manually doing either of these?

After you've shared the connection, check your cable-connected ethernet's IP-address. After that go to your desktop and check if it's on the same network as your laptops cable-connected ethernet. If it is then it should work, if it's not then set an address on your own with IP on the same network, same subnet address, use your laptop as gateway and DNS.

One thing you could try is bridging the wireless and wired network connections on the laptop. Simply mark both of them in "Network Connections" and select Bridge Connections.

bridging doesnt work either, could the problem possibly be in my bios?

Wire them up and go on the laptop and bridge the connections. Simple.
