You confused me at

The Internet is provided through a wireless verizon adapter on laptop1.

Do you mean that you are using laptop1 to use someone else's WiFi connection, then trying to make laptop1 act like a router?

Or if I completely misunderstood you, how are you getting Internet access (DSL, cable, etc.)?

Can laptop1 access the Internet?
