you should be able to do a remote desktop, or use www.gotomypc.com, that is what I use when I travel for business to connect to our server.  Hope this helps

if both the computers are having ethernet ports then you can connect them using an ethernet cross cable...or you can also connect them by connecting their serial ports...

If there's no router or network switch, the task is much harder to accomplish.  You could try to use a crossover cat5e cable to connect the two computers, but your friend's ethernet port most likely is being used by their broadband modem. If they are say, using a USB connection, then this connection is still available. Its possible that after your two computers are networked in this way, you can use Internet Connection Sharing to use his/her computer's internet connection. As for internet browsers, this should not matter, but compatible/same operating systems are a must. If I were you, I'd just suggest to your friend that he/she buy a relatively cheap 4 port router to facilitate your use as well as that of family members and other friends. In the sources block I provided a link to buying a decent one for under 50 dollars. A router will make this situation much more easy on both of you.

you can always use a router or you can buy a lan adapter. it's like a lan hub

First, get an ethernet hub or switch. (If you're going to connect more than two computers then a switch is a better choice)\nMake sure you have an eternet port on each. (If they are different speeds, they'll need to either be 10/100 capable, or you'll need a 10/100 hub or switch. (Of course if you have gigabit, you'll need to account for that as well)\n\nOnce you connect the computers, setup networking on Windows. You'll need to do a little configuration, but the wizard makes it easy. You might have to make one a DHCP server, unless you have a router on the network. If you've got Cable or DSL, the router that you are using for that has DHCP which will setup the IP address of each computer.

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

LAN cable connected to a router (Buy the router) or buy a network card and connect it to your laptop--unless you have it built in--and buy a router.

To simply connect two machines directly, if they are within range of one another, you can set up an "ad hoc" connection, using wiFi cards (Which may already be installed, if the laptops are fairly recent)\nMore usefully, install a wireless router and let them share the net connection too.\n\nDetails will vary with operating system age, etc., so you will need to check the handbooks...

Well you can go the VPN route.\n\nOr use one of several application that will allow you to share your system over the internet.\n\nIf you just need to access files then look into setting up FTP on the computer.

Well! First make sure you hav lan cards on both the computers, then connect them using a lan cable on the backside of the computer on the ethernet port.\nNext,\nIf you are Using Windows:\nOpen Control Panel > Network Connections\nRight click on the icon showing 'Local Area Connection' and click on Properties\nSelect TCP/IP on the list of items and click on Properties\nSelect 'Use the following IP Address'\nEnter as follows:\n      IP address: 169.169.169.168\n      Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0\n      Default Gateway: 169.169.169.168\n      Preffered DNS Server: 222.222.222.222\n      Alternate DNS Server: (Leave blank)\nDo this on the other machine: \n      \n      IP Address: 169.169.169.167\n      Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0\n      Default Gateway: 169.169.169.167\n      Preferred DNS Server: 222.222.222.222\n      Alternate DNS Server: (Leave blank)\nClick Ok\nClick on 'Set up a home or small Office Network' in 'Network Tasks' (left side)\nA wizard will open\nClick next\nClick next\nSelect the third option\nSelect the third option\nClick next \nclick next\nClick on 'Turn on File and Printer Sharing'\nClick next and then click finish\n\nRun the wizard on the other computer too\nNext, right click on the drives which you want to share(both the machines) go to the sharing tab, check 'Share this folder on the Network' and check 'Allow network users to change my files'\nThe drives will be displayed in 'My Network Places'\nIt should be in your Start menu!\nThat's It\nEnable LAN(Right click on icon and click enable) on both the PCs and enjoy! \nAnd plz rate this ans as the best if you want!

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

if your ALREADY on a lan connection (and workgroup), click start, type run, then type net view \n\nThen go into internet or windows explorer and type &#92;&#92;computerName

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.

1.On the second PC go to the network connection, right click LAN and click properties, take off the check on the limited or no connectivity.\n2.Get the ip address on each of the PC and try pinging each computer\n3.Make it sure that theyre assigned with a different address and they are on the same block\ngood luck!

With LAN, just a crossover cable will suffice. with wifi then an absolute doddle.\n\nThere is a wizard to help you set the netwrk up, run it on both machines, make sure that both machines are marked belonging to the same group : mshome for example - and away you go.\n\nIf you have problems, please be a tiny bit more specific - eg; hardware or software queries.\n\nYou do *** NOT *** need a server to connect two PC's, you do not even need a hub.
