If you want to connect 2 computers, you'll need a router.\n\nIf it's a single computer, call Yahoo/SBC support for help.

If you are using Windows XP, then you can enable ICS, (Internet Connection Sharing) and you won't have to purchase any hardware. You may need additional cable to attach the other computers to the one with the internet connection. This link provides info on how to enable ICS.\nhttp://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/using/networking/expert/crawford_02july01.mspx

You can not connect to another computer via internet explorer, unless of course it is running a web server, but then you can only see the website. Depending on your operating system there are a few things you must make sure of before getting to his system. On his and your systems, make sure file sharing is turned on and configured. also to make it easier to browse, ensure both computers are in the same workgroup (Computer name properties under the system control panel icon). know where the data is that you want to get to and share that folder, or you can move the data you want to share to the "Shared Files" folder. once those steps are done you can go to your network places, browse the network, and double click on his computers icon. much luck to you, hope this helped.

What the previous user said is only partially correct.\n\nIn order to view the shared printer, connect to the other computer that is doing the sharing.\n\nFirst, find out your other computer's "computer name" (the one sharing the printer). You can find this by right clicking My Computer and left clicking Properties. In XP, go to the tab labeled "Computer Name". Half way down it should have a "Computer Name" and then a name next to it. Copy that down. Go back to your laptop, make sure you'll connected to your network wirelessly, and then go to Start -> Run. In the text box type in this, "&#92;&#92;computer-name" where "computer-name" is your other computer's name. You should then have a window pop up that shows "Shared Docs" and hopefully your printer (or it'll say printers and faxes). Right click the printer and click "connect". It should install it for you.

salam,\n\nit depends on the DSL modem you have. do you connect to the DSL modem through USB or Ethernet ? if it is Ethernet, you just have to ask the DSL company to setup the DSL modem to act as a router/NAT/DHCP server, and then hook up your computer and her laptop to a hub, the hub to the DSL modem, and configuring your computer to get IP address automaticly, then everything is ready. just turn on your or her computer, completly independent of each other.\n\nbut be aware that your bandwidth is now shared, and if one of you download a big mp3 file the other will be faced with a dead Internet link. so ask the company technician to set some bandwidth management on the DSL router.\n\nbest regards,

the cheapest way is to connect two computers directly together using a cable.  To do this you will needa Network Interface card (NIC) in both computers (most new computer come with them as standard but if not they are cheap).\n\nbuy a CAT5e (crossover) patch cable and plug each end into the computers NIC cards. If your using XP you can run the "set up a home or small office network". This wizard will do all the work for you.\n\nenable internet connection sharing on the computer that conects to the internet and bobs your mothers brother :-)

Most things will not work with a windows 98 to xp network connection.  Two totally different kernal systems.  There are network chatting programs such as WAN CHAT.  You can find it at www.networkingfiles.com.  There are also a lot of other programs you can find for networking there!
