Hello, I am new to all this so don't think I am thick. I
have just installed a home network to connect my 2 pc's.
1 is running XP the other ME. I can share files on both
machines fine and can play games with my son over the LAN
connection. But I cannot figure out how to connect to the
net with the pc that I don't normally connect with. I use
AOL on my pc through a 56k modem. How do I get the other
pc to connect to the net? I have run network wizard 10's
of times and still it won't work. Does the phone wire
have to still go into the modem or does it go into the
hub? What are the correct settings? Please help me!!!
Thanks
 
Your phone line should be hooked up to the modem on your
host computer.
then go start,network connections,right click your
conection,propertiesclick the advanced tab at the top
then make sure to check the box that you want to allow
other users to use this connection.
