I just need someone to tell me if I'm right or wrong with this.

I have a laptop connected through wi-fi with an open ethernet port.

I have one of those raspberry pi for some shits and giggles really, but it doesn't have wi-fi connect and is to far away from the modem to run an ethernet cable.

My plan is to ad-hoc the raspberry pi to my laptop(much closer) with a crossover cable so my raspberry can access the network/internet. Simple question, will this work?

Thanks guys!

Yes, just enable internet sharing on your wired NIC on your laptop.

Well, its connected-ish.

I can ping anything within my network and any web-address/ip. But, when it comes to using the web-browser it says no connection. I thought it was just the browser. I then proceeded to try to use an apt-get command and it also could not connect.

Any suggestions?

Maybe you could try one of those usb wifi thingies.

I'd rather not have to, only doing the wire is because I had an extra laying around. And even if I didn't I probs would have snipped a straight-through wire and added a connector on the end.

Verify if DNS is working (either by pinging an URL or using nslookup)

This may help to make sure you set everything up correctly. I stumbled across this when looking up how to make remote controlled Christmas Lights.

Not sure how that video would help at this situation :P

I unplugged everything and started over. Shared my wi-fi connection, which auto-configured my ethernet adapter to a private address scheme(192.168.137.1). So, i plugged in my raspberry pi, booted up. Got an auto-configured IP of 192.168.137.6

I'm still stuck with the same problem: I can ping virtually anywhere(example: 192.168.137.1(ethernet network), 192.168.1.1(my modem on wireless network), and various websites and IPs on the internet) but cannot connect through apt-get commands(even "sudo apt-get update") and through any of the 3 pre-installed web-browsers it comes with.

On the apt-get commands I get errors saying they can not connect to "some web-address.com" so I was thinking maybe name resolution for the site, but sadly, when I ping the address alone, it resolves the address and pings successfully.

I'm stuck again :P

Edit: I'm also thinking about just installing a fresh version of wheezy or whatever it's called.

Not sure either, went back and read the message, and realized that you were talking about the web browsers on the pi itself...

Can you try a telnet to specialattack.net on port 80 ?
Author:  [SpA]bubbajim3 [ 05 Jan 2013, 00:05 ]
Post subject:  Re: Verification my brain is working
problem :P Telnet is not loaded on the device by default. You have to apt-get to use it.. and well.. yeah

Well, pinging to outside sources and resolving hostnames work, so you clearly have something working there.

Perhaps a firewall issue at your laptop?

Hmm might be, my firewall is very protective at times. I'll take a look at it then respond back. Should have thought of that first :P

Edit: That was it, gotta figure out how to exclude an entire network now, but, atleast I know what it is.

Thanks Saint! :5:
