You need a wireless dsl router and a wifi card for each of your computers!

if it only has one output then you need to by a splitter or router, if it has a router built in then you can simply connect them both to it then go into ( assuming ur on windows ) my network places, then set up a new home network

the PC can be connected via ethernet to the wireless router

No - you can't.  I think your talking about a modem, and not a router.  Was it provided by your Internet Porvider?  If so it's a modem and you cant use both connections.  Even if you could, your ISP would charge you for hooking up an extra PC that way.\n\nHOWEVER - What you can do -- is if one of the PC's has a network card and USB (the new laptop, should definitely have that) and its got windows XP, you can share the internet connection.  Hook the modem to PC1 with USB -- then rightclick "my network places" click properties.  You will see a list of networking devices on your PC -- right click the one that represent your modem hooked in with USB, and click properties.  In the window that pops up, click the "advaced" tab.  You will see a check box that says "share my internet connection" - click that and the wizard will lead you through setting that up.  \n\nThen use an ethernet cable to hook the PC's together, and viola.  This way your ISP will also never know about the other computer, cause it only ever "see's" the first one. \n\nWhen hooking the PCs together with ethernet cable -- it is important that it is a "crossover" cable and NOT a "patch" cable.  The ether net cable that came with your modem is a "patch" cable so you cant use it.  Most likely you will have to buy one.  \n\n(the other solution, is to buy an actualy router -- if your getting a new laptop -- it might be wise to buy a wireless router.  If you use a router (modem hooks to router -- router hooks to PC's)  your ISP will also never know that more than one PC has access.\n\n\nIf it is an actual router, then yes you can use both.  Note -- if it is an actual router it will have more than on ethernet port.  Virtually ALL consumer routers have 4 ethernet ports.   Since you said "So, THE ethernet port is free...", is the reason I am thinking you mean a cable or DSL modem

A router isn't essential, though its certainly what I'd recommend. \n\nThe simplest (and cheapest) way to connect them is by a cross-over ethernet cable, which means that both PCs must have a network interface, either built in to the motherboard or through an add-on card. Of course this approach is only viable if you're able to route the cable through the house OK, you didnt say if the PCs would be in the same room.\n\nOnce you have this connection made use the 'network set up wizard' in Windows to configure your PC with ICS (Internet Connection Sharing) --- this will also allow you to create a floppy disc with which you can set up the other PC with the correct settings.\n\nUsing a router is very similar, though you'd need 2 'straight through ethernet cables' to connect each PC to the router. Your internet connection is then handled by the router which gives the security benefit of not exposing either machine to the internet, traffic is handled by the router on behalf of the PCs. Once again you'd need to be able to run the cables OK.\n\nIf running cables around isnt an option, you have the option of using a wireless router, at least for the connection from the second PC--one of them will have to be connected by ethernet cable to successfully set it up. \nBear in mind a wireless network isn't as secure as a wired one, if you do use this method please follow the advice at sites such as http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,4149,844020,00.asp and http://www.netgear.co.uk/securing_wireless_network.php ... if you do a google/yahoo search for 'securing a wireless network' you'll find lots of good sites..... and don't forget about popping into http://www.microsoft.com and checking put their security advice.\n\nIf all that seems complicated, dont worry...its really very simple, particularly with the configuration being 'wizard' driven.

for wireless setup if you want to connect two pc or teminals (laptop etc) you simply need two wireless lan cards on both terminals nothing else. This will creat Peer to Peer network. But if you want to connect more than two terminals or pc then you need an acces point (AP)this will work for you.

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.

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

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!

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.

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

For this, your best bet is a router. This device allows you to:\nA)Share a broadband internet connection\nB) Create a local area network (LAN) or basically connect computers. \nC) Share files, printers, etc. \nAre you using computers in the same room or all the way across the house? If you are using them in the same room, your best bet is a wired router, like the Linksys BEFSR41. However, if the two computers are spread out you would do better to have a wireless router hardwired (connected via ethernet connection) to one computer and install a wireless card in the other computer. I suggest the WRT54G as I have one myself and it works beautifully, as well as having the security features that I need. I sincerely hope this helps!

You need to set one up as the master, the second as a slave.  You will need them to be connected to each other, either by wireless or hard wired.  - Wireless is best!\n\nThen use the WinXP home network wizard.\n\nGood luck - and dont worry it never works correctly first time!!

You need a router.... it will  allow you to use whatever pc you want.... also the router allows all pcs to access at the same time or individually.... you will not need to have a specific pc or number of pcs on at any given time... \ngood luck
