I have a 17 inch laptop and would like to use it as the external monitor for a netbook.I can use an external monitor to connect to my Laptop and see the laptop desktop on the external monitor.I can not do it the other way round and see the netbook desktop on my laptop screen.
That will NEVER work. Not in a million years.
That video port on your laptop is built to SEND OUT video signals only, for connecting to monitors. It is NOT built to receive a video signal from another computer.
You CANNOT connect your netbook to your laptop in that manner.
You want to use another display with your netbook, you need to connect your netbook to a standalone monitor, not to your laptop.
