get a crossover cable, connect it to the pc taht is connected to a land line. Switch internet sharing on and done. Or get a router. Google it

[thorrider13]

do i have to run a cable from cpu to cpu? cuz theyre on different floors of my house... lol and ty.. i check goooogle

[Aldeon]

its called a router, or possibly a usb hub (which i don't recommend)

 

 

 

You have a wireless router plug in the computer with internet already

 

 

 

Then you buy a wireless adapter and plug in the comp without internet

 

 

 

Follow all setup instructions and your good to go

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Now i say if money isnt a problem why do you have dial-up. If broadband is available get it it ranges normally between 15-50$ a month. Theres cable or t1 - 3 which are the best and theres DSL

 

 

 

There's no logging in

 

 

 

Theres no being kicked off because of phone

 

 

 

no missed calls

 

 

 

A LOT LOT LOT faster dont know how many times but it is a very noticable difference

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

For the router and wireless adapter since money isnt a prob really

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Get the

 

 

 

Linksys Wireless-G Router (with speedbooster)

 

 

 

and Linksys Wireless USB adapter

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Thats what i have and is a very fast setup, and really easy to configure

[thorrider13]

i got dsl lol

[Aldeon]

ok good well go to walmart, radioshack, staples what ever

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

get the linkysys wirelless-G router (for the comp with internet)

 

 

 

and the linksys Wireless-G USB adapter (for the comp without internet)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Follow all insturcitons and you should be good to go.....if not then call their technical support hotline

Yes do what Aldeon said and get a router, wireless might be best if you don't want to put a cable between the router and the 2nd computer.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Not sure why Aldeon thought you were on dialup :?

[thorrider13]

ummm how much do those 2 cost? just wonderin how much money ima need... and is lynksys the brand to go? all i do is download music put it on my ipod and use runescape

[Phil]

You can get a decent wireless router from about ÃÆââ¬Å¡Ãâã40-ÃÆââ¬Å¡Ãâã60.

 

 

 

Good brands include 'Linksys' & 'D-Link'

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I'm actually looking to buy one myself soon.

[thorrider13]

how much is that in USD?

[Aldeon]

i live in america.....never mind for me thinkin you had dial-up im just not very aqauinted with DSL

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

you can get the Linksys wireless-G router with speedbooster for about 50-75$

 

 

 

Thats model #WRT54GS

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I saw at radioshack its on sale now for $60

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

And the wireless adapter to receive the wireless singal from the router is

 

 

 

$30-$50

 

 

 

Model #WUSB54G

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

$40 right now at radioshack (on sale)
