I have 1 pc that uses a dial up connection for the internet and another that uses a dsl connection. I want to connect them so that both are on dsl. What do I need, and how do I connect them?

you need to get a ROUTER. make sure that the 1 pc thats on dial up has a "nic card" (thats a cat5 port, alittle larger than a telephone plug)  once you get the router.\n1. unplug the DSL modem\n2. plug in the DSL Modem and wait till its finished booting up\n3. now plug in the Router to the DSL modem\n4. now plug in pc1 & pc2 to the router. this will give them both the ability to access the DSL\n\n*note: sometimes the router will need to be configuered correctly, usually you can just put it right into the equation.\nAlso sometimes the DSL modem might need to be unplugged for a minute or more so it can clear its memory before you connect it to the router

This can be found in Windows Help. Search "connect two computers"\n\n\nConnecting the computers together\n\nThis shows how to connect your computers together using an Ethernet, home phoneline network adapter (HPNA), or wireless network adapter. It displays basic network configuration without a residential gateway or Internet Connection Sharing.\n\nConnection type: Ethernet\nRequired hardware: A network adapter is installed into each computer and then connected to a network hub.\n View computer configuration : Configure an Ethernet network using a network hub.

If you have a broadband connection, the modem (cable or DSL) probably is a router as well. Even if it has only one jack, if it is a router, all you need then is a hub. Connect both computers to the hub and configure the Internet connection.

You need either 2 phone lines, a dial-up router, an external dial up modem that connects to your computer via ethernet and a broadband router, or broadband internet and a broadband router. The 2 choices there that are easiest are broadband internet and a broadband router, or 2 phone lines. Macs and pcs connect to the internet the same way, and the same router will work for both of them, in case you were wondering.

first, consider using a wireless router with your dsl modem. then put a card or adapter in your laptop.\n\nThe issue with your laptop is software or settings... basically the same.\n\nif you are a total novice i suggest calling either your isp or your router's company to get setup instructions.\n\nyour laptop and modem and router need to recogize each other so they can "talk".\n\nyour HOME Network can have endless PC and/or Macs attached at the same time.... you just need to set up each one\n\napparently you either dont' have plug and play or you have a security backup.

ok, here, i'll explain, in much better etail than the other 2 answers. \nA dial-up modem is really nothing more than a telephone. only, it is programed to interpret certain sounds/electrical signals that come from the telephone as somthing that your computer can understand. because of this, it does act as a telephone call, thus, you cannont make any calls on that line. \n\na DSL modem is basically the same thing, believe it or not. it still uses your phone line, but, it uses a different frequency to transfer information. it uses a higher frequency of the phone line, like the fast and slow lanes of a highway. but, the major difference between the dial-up modem and the DSL one right now is that the DSL modem has to be configured to recieve these high frequency messages.\n\na Cable modem is completely different from both dial-up and DSL modems. a cable modem uses a different wire, instead of a telephone wire, it uses a digital coaxle wire. this wire supports more data transfer at a time than phone wires do, thus, you may get higher speeds of interent.\n\nnow, there is one last thing that is usually overlooked. as you probably know, you have 1+ telephone wire per a house. and this wire, never joins with other wires. thus, it is alwayse only you on your phone, nodoby else. because of this, DSL's speed of internet remains relativly the same throught the day. However, the coaxle cable that you have for a cable modem joins togeather with everyone in your community, so, if more people are on the internet in your community, then your connection will be slower. so, at different times during the day, your connection may be slightly faster of slower, depending on how many other people in your community are on the internet.

Yes, your dial up modem on the PC will work, but only as a dial up connection, not as DSL. \n\nDial up modem uses Voice frequencies for data transmission whereas DSL modems use the frequencies that are well above Voice frequency. Thus in order to benefit from the broadband above your narrow voice band frequencies, you will require a DSL modem that uses the broad band to transmit data. \n\nUsing a Low pass filter, you can also talk via your phone at the same time you are accessing the internet. You can't do this with your voice band dial up modem.\n\nFor more tech info: http://www.tutorial-reports.com/networking/broadband/dsl/introduction.php

you can use but you require internal modem for dialup and modem/router for broadband.sometimes you may face problem because when you are connectr as dialup and someone calls you or you want to make some call then you will be disconnected automatically and speed of connection for dialup decreases very much.

I too used to work on Dial Up and it is a pain in the butt. I now have DSL and it's a ton better. I'd seriously think about upgrading that internet connection.\n\nIf you give me your e-mail address I will e-mail you the install file. I have a yahoo e-mail address that I am pretty sure I can send a file that size through to you on. If you are interested please contact me at oboedude01@yahoo.com.

You can use a flash or thumb drive to do what you want or just connect the other computer to your internet service.  Does your internet service come with a router to allow connection sharing?  You can get one and connect the other computer to it and run both on same connection.  Not as hard as it sounds.

you need to configure your computer for dial connection. you need to have an isp provider. username and password and of course telephone number to dial.

1.) If you have a NIC in each PC, you can use a crossover cable.\n2.) If you have a NIC in each PC, you can use a switch (D-Link Dss+5 cost around $20). Use 2 cat5e cables and you are set. If you have later more PCs, you can hook them up as well.\n3.) LapLink or something like it works with a USB cable or a (Null Modem) parallel cable.

yes you dont know what you are talking about #1\n\nand if you have PC1 into router 1 via wire\nand PC2 into router 2 via wireless\n\nthey are obviously on two networks. plug PC1 into router 2 and make sure DHCP service is enabled on your router. I am assuming you are talking about those broadband routers that have DHCP service.\n\nupdate:\n\ntake away router 2 and put everything on router 1. You should be on the same network then, in order to get to that PC you  need to browse via IP unless you have a DNS server or if you are using an additional protocol other than IP

You need  a router. if you don't want a wireless router, then you can get a wired router and buy enough cat5 cable to run from the upstairs computer to the router downstairs. You will then connect your DSL modem to the router and both computers to the router. Go to your computer name settings from the properties of my computer and enter a workgroup name for both of them (the default is "workgroup" and will work fine also), not the domain setting. The router software should set up a dynamic host table to give both of the computers their own IP addy to communicate on so you can use automatically detect in the TCP/IP settings. the DSL modem will now recognize the DSL modem as the IP address for your home account, not that of the computer. If you want sharing permissions for files and folders then you will need to create profiles on each of the computers that give the necessary permissions for the other computers profile/sign on. \n\nThe cat5 cable itself will have to be physically run from the upstairs computer to the router so you will need to either get enough to tack it on the stairs and wall trim etc or drill through the floor/ceiling.\n\n\nGood Luck

Get a Wireless DSL Router (LinkSys is one example) and connect it between your computer and the DSL modem. Connecting all of your computers to the Wireless DSL Router will allow you to have internet connection for all.

The problem is that on DSL, you do not get a public IP address on your computer. Your router gets one and then your it gives your computer a private IP address. This is called NAT (Network Address Translation). \n\nIn order to use a VPN on a DSL connection, you need to either route a public IP to your computer, which will probably require you to purchase one from your ISP and will require them to help you set it up, or you will need to set up some port forwarding in the router to forward the ports that the VPN program communicates on.\n\nRight now, when you connect to a remote computer, it sees that traffic as coming from the IP address of your router, since your computer IP is private. When it tries to send information back, the router says "Hey! I don't know what this is!" and drops the packets. Port forwarding tells the packets which local IP address they should go to and having a public IP on your computer makes that step unnecessary.\n\nYou will definitely need to call your ISP on this, but I hope my explaination helps to clarify.

your verizon router should have more than one dsl connection...you just have to buy the extra cable, or... if your second computer has wireless card, then you can configure it for wireless networking (that's how I added my laptop).
