Use a router and network cards. Visit http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Router for more info.  Or you can use a hub which will split the connection as well.

first you need to have your Home PC connected to the internet.\n\nconnect to the internet with your laptop using your GSM phone as a GPRS modem (if it supports GPRS and if your GSM provider supports GPRS)\n\nonce both computers are conencted to the internet, you need a host software or a remote access software or a service to access your home PC (remote desktop. remotelyanywere, etc, you can also use FTP server on both or on one of the 2 Pcs to transfer files)

you don't need a router, \nsince both computers connect to the Internet through same gateway or hub\nFollow these steps in order to Network all of them.\non your laptop and desktop, or any other computer,\n-Right Click on My Computer,\n-Select Propreties\n-Select computer Name\n-Name your Laptop "My Laptop", name your Desktop "Desktop" and any other name for different computers.\n-Click on change\n-In the Workgroup space, give all your computers same WorkGroup Name(it is case sensitive). MSHOME is the default, change it to something different, but your computers must be in the same workgroup.\n-Click OK\n- a message "welcome to ******* workgroup" is shown.\n-please restart your computers at this point.\n-when your computers are on,\n-double click on My Network Places\n-on the left bar, click on "view work group computers" do this on both computers.\n-you will see the names of your laptop in the desktop and vice versa.\nyou can now share documents, files, and drives.\n\nASAP

The easiest way is to setup a network to connect them both to. The standard way to setup a network is to use a router, most networks can easily be setup, once you get a router you will need to configure it so it will function as you want it to, then you will need to connect both computers through the router. This should allow you to share files between the computers as well as share your internet connection.\n\nAnother way to do this works if you have Windows XP or I think Windows 2000 lets you do this too, but that is to share your connection that is going into your main computer. To do this you will need it to have two different network cards, one is your existing one that you use to connect it to your DSL connection, and you will need a second one to connect to the other computer, in this case your laptop. In your Network Connections option in the control panel if you right click the connections one of the options is "Bridge Connection" by clicking this you are able to have the connections shared which should allow the laptop to access the internet connection through your desktop.

It depends on how you're doing it. The easiest way is to use a DSL switch/router like Linksys or Dlink . connect THAT to the DSL router, and then all your computers connect to the router. Most routers sell between 25 and 50 dollars and have easy setup programs.

Windows allows internet connection sharing.  Enable this for the network connection of the computer which is online.\n\nA better solution is to hook up both computers through a router.  These can be purchased for under $50 online or in walmart/target/radio shack/etc.

easiest way is ethernet- one NIC card for each computer, and a hub to link 'em

make a new connection and in control panel open network connections and you will find the new connection you made , right click on it and properties and you will find a tab called sharing connection , just click on it and enable connection sharing and be sure that both computers are in the same work group name , and to know that just in control panel open icon called system and click on tab called network and you will find network ID and another button called change click on change and make both computers have the same work group name , then go to your control panel again and open printer and right click on your printer and properties and make it share for every one in your net work and from the other computer you will find the printer shared in network places , just right click on it and install and it will be added to your printers

A network hub with both types of connection will do it. Probably cant get an actual hub, since most such devices are switches these days

Install an additional network card on the PC with the BroadBand Connection (or check to see if it already has two NIC ports). \n\nMake sure the other PC has a network port.\n\nIf you don't have a hub, router, wireless modem or anything else listed by the other answers, simply take a regular network cable and cut it in the middle. \n\nNow connect the Transmit Positive (T+) wire from one end to the Receive Negative (R-) wire on the other end. \n\nConnect one sides' T- to the other sides' R+\nConnect the remaining R+ to the other sides' T-\nConnect the remaining R- to the other sides' T+\n\n(I can't remember right off hand which wire does what, so research the web or email me [cjmclellen@yahoo.com])\n\nTape the cable up and plug it into the two computers which will share the BroadBand connection.\n\nOn the PC that has BroadBand already, go to the Control Panel and run the Network Setup Wizard. Follow the instructions to enable a shared internet connection. \n\nDo the same on the other PC but choose the option "connect to the internet through another computer". \n\nBasically, your internet service provider thinks that only one PC is using the connection. And they're right in a sense. Only one PC has a direct connection to web. This same PC also has ANOTHER network connection, the one that links your two PC's together. By enabling ICS (Internet Connection Sharing) on the host PC, you have created a bridge between the two networks and it is serving as a Gateway. Though the second PC is able to connect to the web, it's IP address is local and is obtained from the host ICS computer. \n\nAnother method is logging on to eBay and buying a wireless broadband router and a couple WLAN cards or WLAN USB sticks. This way you might be able to pick up on your neighbors Wireless broadband connection and connect to it. Then, cancel your service and split your neighbor's bill with them. Or; if you don't like them, and/or you're a cheap scandelous bastard, just steal it and don't ever say a word about it.

get a switch/hub\n\nget two wires with which you can connect both the Pc's to the hub/switch.a CAT 5 cable basically\n\nboth of these wires should have rj-45 jacks on both sides.\n\njust plug in these wires into your pc and the hub\n\nonce done go to start->settings-> control panel->network and dial up connections\n\nright click on the connection that is showing up as active and go to the tcp/ip properties and give an ip address on one system(windows XP) as 10.10.1.1 and subnet mask as 255.255.255.0 leave the gateway as blank and on the other system(win98) give the ip addres as 10.10.1.2 and subnet mask 255.255.255.0 and gateway as 10.10.1.1\n\nthat should make it work

I think you have a USB type cable modem.  This plugs into a USB port on your pc.  This one piece of hardware will allow you to connect two or more computers together and share an internet connection.

You can share the internet connection between both computers by using a router.\n\nThese updates are for internet protection. The files are useless for the other computer.

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.

You can do a network connection using router and network cables, the standard ethernet cables, but if you need to connect only 1 pc to 1 laptop, you dont need a router, instead you can use Crossover Cable and directly connect from your PC network card slot to Laptop's network card slot

Assuming you have modem - go with 'Windows network'\n\nOtherwise, crossover ehter net cable.

1. you need a NIC (Network Interface Card) on both computer.\n\n2. cross over cable.\n\n3. right click my network places and select the connection of you have just created for this connection and give it a static IP address (say 192.168.0.21)\n\n4. do the same for the second computer with diffrent IP address (say 192.168.0.9)\n\n5. enable the network on both computers.\n\n6. go to the explorer and type &#92;&#92;192.168.0.21 from 192.168.0.9\n\nThat's all. \nHave Fun
