I would suggest picking up a wireless router. you could do an ad-hoc network but if you want to share the internet connection, your best bet is to use a small router. for about $50 dollars you can pick up a Linksys WRT54G and have all your bases covered.   ofcouse you'll need wireless network cards for each of the computers. the documentation with the linksys router will guide you through the process. also check out some info on wireless security. (see sources)

The best and safest way for you to network your two PC's is to purchase a router with 4 port switch.\n\nUse one PC to follow the router setup wizard.\n\nYour ADSL modem will connect to the routers WAN port and the to PC's will connect to two of the routers LAN ports.\n\nOnce you have one PC successfully connected to the internet through the router use the Windows Network Setup Wizard to create your local area network.\n\nGo to Start > Settings > Control Panel > Network Setup Wizard\n\nNext > select "This computer connects to the Internet through a residential gateway... > Next > give each PC a unique name > Next > Provide the SAME workgroup name for both PC's > Next > select Turn on file and printer sharing > Next > apply these settings > Next.\n\nEach PC should now have a unique name and belong to the same workgroup.  Each PC should also have Network Share folders under My Computer.  This shared folder should be visible from the other PC.\n\nTo share a specific folder on a PC go to Windows Explorer > select the folder to be shared > Right mouse click > select Sharing and Security > and follow the directions for the type of sharing you want.\n\nTo find the other networked PC go to: Windows Explorer > My Network Places > Microsoft Windows Network > [your workgroup] > and all your networked PCs associated with your workgroup should be visible.  You can now expand the PC to see what folders and devices are shared.

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.

easy solution:\n\n-buy a cheap router which has 4 ports for internet connections.\n-buy 4 cheap ethernet cable (u should already have 1)\n-install the software of the router on computers (u may need to install only on 1 pc,try)\n-plug the ethernets to the 4 port router (there is a 5th port for ur internet connection)\n-after connecting each ethernet to ur laptop or pc ull have them all connected to the internet and Lan network.\n-u can play transfer info and etc.\n-this is from my own experience and definately works

use the network setup wizard in XP and follow the steps. XP makes it pretty easy and straight forward setting up a wireless network.\n\n\nOn the desktop \n\ngoto start/control panel/network setup wizard. You will need a floppy or a flash drive to transfer the data from the desktop to the notebook when using the wizard.\n\nAlso, right click on you wireless connections icon in "network connection" for both computers. Under the "general" tab make sure "file and printing for Microsoft Networks" is checked on both computers. Click "apply"\n\nOn the laptop\nIn "control panel" click on "printer and faxes" in the left window pane click on "add a printer." Click next, make sure that "A network printer, or a printer attached to another computer" is checked and that the desktop is on, then click "next."  In the "Specify for a Printer" check the "browse for a printer, then click next. double click on "Microsoft windows network," then double click on "workgroup." XP might take awhile to find the printer. After it finds the printer highlight it and click "Next." Follow the directions in the wizard, which will install the driver and setup the printer that is attached to your desktop.

from your cable or DSL modem connect the ethernet cable to the router input.  Install and configure using the CD which came with the router.  During the installation process it checks the connectivity and you are on if its passed.  Couple of tips though.  \n\n1. Change the default SSID\n2. Never broadcast the SSID (make sure the broadcast option is uncheked)\n3. Set up a 64/128 bit WEP key\n\nOnce you done the above then all your wireless adapters can pick up the signal once you set up with the authentication.

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

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 ;)

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.

You can use LapLink to send files back and forth.  However,\nforget the old technology.  Dawn of a new day!  Enter the real world of ethernet..  You can do it!  I have faith in you.\n\nGood luck!\nKOZ\nhttp://www.affirmative-computer-services.com\ncomputer service phoenix

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.

It's easy mate... open your WiFi settings... go to advanced ...there you would find a  option of ad-hoc networks(computer to computer) .. you need it to enable on both the PC's ...after doing it..you would fins the PCin the network list.......just connect and enjoy...

To start with what you have you need the following:\n\n1) 5ea wireless Network card in each computer, OR 5ea Cat5 or Cat6 network cables long enough to goto the routers and computers and 5 network cards.\n2) A Wireless ROUTER (or if you can't afford wireless get a DSL/Cable router with at least 5 ports (1 for each PC, but more is better for upgrading later)\n3) follow the instructions for setting up the router, and plug in all the computers.\n\n4) for a very basic low security setup this will get you started.\n5) run the windows xp network wizard.
