Disclaimer: Assuming that you know less about computers, i'm giving this suggestion. No offence in any regards to any one.\n--x--\ni really did not unerstand your question.\nAny way, my assumptions are:\n1. You have DSL at home.\n2. You have Dial Up at some other Location other than Home.\n3. You want to have Wireless Dial up on You laptop at this other location.\n\nSo, let us first eliminate the non-required part.\n1. Your home DSL is in no way near camper !.. so why even consider it\n\nComing to the part of Dial Up. The first thing you will need is a Stand Alone dial up modem. I hope you have that. And I assume that you know how to go online with that.\n\nThen, you will need a wireless router, preferable a 54 MBPS wireless router. (you mentioned that you have one!, if required use one like that or get another)\n\nThen, you will need a wireless card (PCI Card) on your laptop. I'm assuming that you have that. \n\nNow, connect the Dial Up modem and The router. Configure the router for wireless access using your Laptop through ethernet connection first. This is required because the wireless is not activated unless you activate it by providing the MAC address of the laptop wireless card. \n\n--x--\nOn a personal note: Dial Up -> wireless may be extremely slow!

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,

Sure. Get an ethernet card and hook it up to your old computer. Next, buy an ethernet router (I recommend any 10/100mb Linksys router as they are fairly reliable for the novice/intermediate users - and very easy to set up). Run the ethernet cables from both computers to your router. Configure the router with your DSL settings (again, it comes with easy instructions), and voila.\n\nHappy browsing.

It ain't pretty, but you need a second NIC in the computer that will connect to the modem. Use the connection wizard to connect direct to the internet (modem) on the first computer. Set the second computer to access the internet thru another computer or router. Use a crossover cable to connect the first and second computer via NIC #2.

first, you need DSL or cable modem in your house. then you need to get a wireless router. from there, you can wirelessly connect to the router from your computer using a WLAN card.\n\nso it goes like this...\n\ncable into house-> cable modem->wireless router->WLAN card on computer

Set it up like you would with normal DSL.  \n\n1. Run the cat 5 (standard networking cable) from the DSL RJ45 jack in your wall, to the back of your router in the spot labeled "Internet".  \n\n2. Then after ensuring that you have your power cables plugged in (and 3 lights are on on your router), \n\n3. make sure your wireless card in plugged into your computer (make sure your computers off).  \n\n4. Then turn on your computer.  It'll read the router and hook you up to the net. \n\n5. Go to Start\n\n6. Run\n\n7. CMD\n\n8. type ipconfig\n\n9. look at your ip address\n\n10. Open your web browser and type in http://your.ip.address.here\n\n11. That will bring up your router, and from here you can configure it.\n\nenjoy.

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

To use the Internet in your home, you need an account with an Internet Service Provider (ISP). This will generally be dialup (over the phone line), cable (from the cable TV company), or DSL (from the phone company). For dialup, you use a modem to connect your computer to the phone line. Most computers have a modem built in. For cable and DSL, you need a separate cable or DSL modem, and a router. Then you use a network cable to plug your PC into the router. (Most computers have a network card included or built in.) Your ISP will probably offer the modem and router for rent or sale, or you can buy them yourself.\n\nIf you have a neighbor with a wireless network, they might let you use it from your PC.

You need a Router to share a DSL line.   The DSL line comes into the DSL modem, which is wired to the Router.  Then both computers are connected to the Router.\n\nA Router must be hard-wired to at least one computer, but a Wireless Router could then be wireless to others (usually the laptop).\n\nYour ISP might provide a wired or wireless router if you order it (Yahoo/SBC does).      Otherwise you can buy one for under $100.\n\nTalk to your ISP about what is required for their service.

You can use your current DSL modem and just purchase a wireless router.  The wireless router will have a connection port for an ethernet cable running to your existing DSL modem.  I don't know how I ever lived before my wireless router.  You will really like it.

If it is an internal modem don't.  You can but it requires too much tweaking and running through computers.  If it is external (serial or USB) just switch it.  If it is a DSL modem - that's a whole different story.  Best bet is to use a router so that you can connect both.  If you get a wired/wireless router you can use the laptop wireless at the same time.  A router also acts as a firewall, thus giving you additional protection.  Note - if you do go wireless, don't forget to encrypt the connection.

My DSL required a router to be connected between the line and computer through a LAN port. There should be instructions and maybe even software to help you install.

you'll need a wireless router and adapter for the other computer

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 :-)

If there are other pcs connected to your dsl you must have either a wireless or wired router! If wireless, run the networking wizard on the LOL" reinstalled" PC! If its wired, connect the wire and do the same!

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.
