<A HREF="http://www.practicallynetworked.com/support/linksys_router_help.htm" target="_new">here</A> are instructions on setting up a Linksys cable/dsl router (works for any brand pretty much)

If you have Windows 98SE and above then you can just use internet connection sharing.

 

[jlanka]

almost - you need one more NIC (if you're talking about broadband)

My roommate and I have a shared DSL setup. It works wonders. Router + DSL modem + 2 network adapter cards. With new Windows (post Win95) it's not too bad to setup.

will i still have both of my pcs on LAN for networked gaming and swapping files

you talkin broadband or dialup? You never said.

DSL= broadband aint it?

 

[jlanka]

if you're going to us an ethernet based modem, don't mess around with ICS, just go with a router.

well well what about if i wanna share a dialup then(LOL)
as i said, i got both computers hooked up to a LAN and one of them got its modem fried

 

[jlanka]

I'm confused. You just told me I didn't read your original post, that it was DSL. Now you're saying it's dialup? Which one is it?

[natport]

sorry man i'm a little confused too 🙂

okay forget about the question but i'm certainly getting DSL within this few weeks and if i wanna share it thru lan all i need is 2 NIC's and a router withougth messing up geeky stuffs?

 

[jlanka]

yup. that will work.
