Whats the make and model of the older computer (need that to look up the specs). If it's a desktop you may be able to install a NIC card into the computer.

Yes, you need another router. It will the fastest and most efficient way to do this. There is software you could install that allows it to be done through one of the computers, but it is a nightmare and you would always have to have both machines on. With the prices of Internet Broadband routers these days, why even bother.\n\nI won't fill up this page with the "How-to", so please take a look here:\n\nhttp://www.linksys.com/servlet/Satellite?c=L_Content_C1&childpagename=US%2FLayout&cid=1114037291160&pagename=Linksys%2FCommon%2FVisitorWrapper

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!

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

Just buy a wireless router with a built in Ethernet switch & do away with the other router.\nOf course you will need to have a wireless card for your laptop if you don't already.

Those DSL modems will only connect with Ehternet or USB, not both at the same time.  You will need to connect the two computers with Ethernet to share the DSL connection.  XP has an Internet Connection Sharing wizard for setting this up.  You can also buy an Internet Gateway router.  This will give you better download speeds on a shared connection as the router does all of the work, not the computer that is connected to the Internet and sharing a connection.  Linksys manufactures these and you can buy them @ Wal-Mart for about $50.

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...

In this case two types.\n\n1.If you have HUb or Switch, use Stright cables,i.e CAT5or Cat 6 Ethernet cables, enable Netbiew protocal,go to mynetwork place,my nearest computer,then u can see the second computer.\n2.use crossover Ethernet Cable, connected pc to pc.\nenable Netbiew protocal.

you can use multiple computer just one internet connection \n1 - create a local net work  by connecting computers \n2 -  create a connection to inter net in one computer \n3 - find connection sharing  in your connection from conection peoperties \nturn on check box :"alloew other computer to use this connection"\nall connected computer connect to internet via this connection with network \nif your dsl modem working  with rj45 connection you must use two  NIC (networl card) one for dsl modem and other for connecting to other computer

What operating system do you have?  (Windows 98, Windows ME, Windows XP, Linux, Mac OS, other)\n\nWhat internet provider do you use? (Earthlink, Yahoo, SBC, AOL, etc, etc,)\n\nDo you have a wireless access point/router/broadband gateway between your computer and DSL or cable modem?

you don't need to have another computer hooked up to the modem, if ur moden is external u can connect it to a wireless router, then share the connection with the router and use it by ur laptop using ur wirless lan card.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.
