I have two computers and i am using a cross over cable to
connect them both, which is successful. I have a internet
connection,which is broadband. I want to get the internet
on both computers, how would i do this??

Please Help

You basically have two options:
1. Buy a router/firewall such as those offered by Linksys and connect both
pcs to that with straight-thru cables (this is the recommended solution)
2. If you have Win2000 or higher and a 2nd network card in one of the
machines, you could use Internet Connection Sharing (look it up in the Help
menu). This is cheaper but also has limitations and can be slower for the
client machine than a direct connection through a router.
