Ok, I asked this back when we were at the old site and wrote it down but I lost it.


I'm getting DSL next month, once my contract runs out with my current provider.


I've got 2 computers, both on dial up.

What do I need to do to be able to have both computers hooked up online to DSL?


I think I gotta buy some extra stuff, but I don't know what that is, much less what it hooks up to...I have no experience with cable or DSL service.

Advice/tips/info are greatly appreciated.


Thanks,


Robert

You can do it the way I have setup... Two network cards in the main computer (the one with dsl running to it). Setup internet connection sharing. Buy a cheap switch and run the second card to the switch, plug the other pc (with network card) into the switch. Set it to DHCP and there ya go... Some day I am going to buy a router. :D

Oh, yea, you have to leave the main pc on for the other one to see the internet.
