oh rite, so it's best to have one modem (in mine) than to have one in each computer? | |

or u could use a cross over cable to connect the two computer together, then set up ICS (Internet connection sharing) thats what i've done in the past | |

Yea i have 56k on both, but windows 98 on one and xp on mine. So all i need is a cross over cable to connect them together and set up ICS, and then a network card for each comp. And the net will work at the same time? And when one computer is off yes? | |

If it is only two computers, you can connect them with a cross over cable, and then use ICS (internet connection sharing) built into windows to share the connection. 2 networkd cards will be about £15, however much cable you need (£20 max) and thats all you need. If you are planning to expand the network ever, or want to be able to use the net when the other computer isnt on, then you will have to go for router hub combo, but AFAIK there arent (m)any routers that work with 56k, if you have that. :thumbs: | |
