It's easy.\n\nRun one ethernet cable from the DSL to the WAN port on the router.\n\nRun one cable from one of the 4 ports on the router to the PC.\n\nYou can either then run another cable from other 4 ports on the router to the laptop or you can set up the wireless. (if your laptop supports it)\n\nThen, just read the manual for the router on how to configure it.

If both laptops have infrared ports, they can communicate that way also, however that will be slow, hard to learn how to setup, and probably not worth your time.\n\nThe wireless cards is a good option but is also a little tricky.\n\nJust buy a cheap crossover ethernet cable online (less than $10 on http://www.pricewatch.com) and connect the two computers together via etherhet. If you use the special crossover cable both computers will be able to talk to eachother by simplly assigning each computer an IP address on the network.\n\nOne computer:\n192.168.0.2\n\nThe other computer:\n192.168.0.3\n\nOn both computers:\nSubnet: 255.255.255.0\nDNS: make this up\nGateway: leave it blank or put in the opposite computer's ip address.\n\n(You put these settings into the Internet Properties TCP/IP of the Local Area Connection properties once you've connected both computers together.)\n\nYou can find a more detailed guide by searching google for network crossover cable howto guide or something like that.\n\nYou can also find out how to setup the file sharing so you can access each computer across that cable. It's pretty easy and not as tricky as a wireless connection.

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

Windows ME you mean?\n\nYes of course - either buy an ethernet cross-over cable and network them together, or plug them both into a networking switch.\n\nAssign them both similar IP addresses ie\n\n192.168.1.1 for the PC\n255.255.255.0 subnet mask\n\n192.168.1.2 for the laptop\n255.255.255.0\n\nMake sure they're both in the same workgroup and all you need to do now is share the files and you're done.

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.

Get a wireless router and a wireless card; connect the wireless router to the machine with the internet connection & LAN card. Next, install and configure the wireless card in the other computer and then you can share the internet with the two computers.\n\nP.S. - Don't forget to setup security on your wireless router to stop "wardrivers".

connect both the desktop and the laptop using a LAN Cable.. and install proxy on the system with the direct internet connection.. configure proxy and you will be ready to share your connection...

if you are going to use the Internet in the other room then you can do two thing. \n\nFirst you can run a cable from that jack to the other room \n\nSecond you can setup a wireless router and you will be to connect to that router from anywhere in your house. \n\nYou have any question let me know.

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 :-)

Press on every physical button on / side/ below your laptop until the wireless LAN green light turns on. \nGo to Start - connect to - show all connections. Highlight wireless network, right click, and make sure its set to ENABLE

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

Yes, there are several ways to configure this.  The easiest may be a wireless router with a wireless card in the computer furthest way from the connection.  But unless you want to patch it together, you will need some kind of router.  They're pretty cheap now and easy to work with.

Simply attaching a wireless adapter to the computer will not suffice.  Somewhere near you, in your home, in your office, in an internet cafe or restaurant or libary, must be a wireless access point connected to the internet for you laptop wireless to communicate with.  If you don't have one of these, then you must buy one and connect it to the internet.\n\nSee your wireless owner's manual for information on how to configure this.

use the windows wizard to configure the network connection, and use the same workgroup for both computers\n\nnext, configure the both network connections with a static ip addresses.. that means.. in the TCP/IP parameters you have to set for exemple 192.168.1.1 as an ip address and 192.168.1.2 for the seconde..and using the subnet mask as 255.255.255.0 this to set the two computers at the same network\n\nat the end share a folder in one computer and access to it from the seconde\n\n&#92;&#92;"the ip address of the distant computer"&#92;\n\neg \n&#92;&#92;192.168.1.2&#92;\n\nhope this can help ;)

More details. Are you both on the same network already? Are you both at home, within the distance reachable by a LAN cable? Are you both using the same Operating System?

Why not!\nYou can create your own Wireless Network on an XP Machine, say, MyNetwork, go up into wireless advanced properties and check the box which says something about peer-to-peer adhoc network or something as such, now from your girl's Mac search over for other Networks around, the notebook might definately detect your network around the vicinity, all you gotta do is connect and authenticate...\n\nI have shared stuff with a Mac on Cable, and I doubt that the wireless network might not work, but hey!!! do give it a try...\n\nInjoy...
