Just bought a secondhand PC off a friend, it runs 2000 professional. How do I
link it to my main PC (on XP), do I need any special hardware or software?
 
There are a number of ways to do it. If you just want to connect the two,
get an Ethernet crossover cable and plug one end into each computer. They
need to be members of the same workgroup and file sharing needs to be turned
on and some directories need to be set up for sharing. If, on the other
hand, you want to let both computers get out to the internet through a cable
or DSL modem, get a router or access point and two Ethernet cables. Or can
also use wireless connections if you add dome hardware to your two
computers.
