And using a USB ADSL modem?
You are better with an ADSL router but you can share you internet connection from your PC to the other one. You need your PC switched on for the other one to access the internet if you are sharing. With a router either will access the internet independently

Try it with internet connection sharing then, there is no cost involved then :). You need a crossover cable if you are connecting 2 PC's together.

Re: Networking cable
 
How are you going to run the cable from one PC to the other? Under the carpet? The plugs are quite big on the ends so you wont want to drill holes to thread the cable through.

I took all my stuff of that pc as it was my old one & i think it couldnt handle the mass delete:eek: apparently lost some memory & needs re booting but am considering getting a XP disk as thats on 98

Neil 22-10-2005 16:49
Re: Networking cable
 
What sort of spec is the old PC? It might not be fast enough for XP or enough memory in it etc.

Well it originally came with XP but only sp 1 so it wouldn't update or anything didnt have XP disk so downgraded it to win 98

Its a Dell optiplex G+1 40gig H/D 400mhz = p2 the downside

Re: Networking cable
 
Our work PC's have SP2 and keep updating themselves and restarting as well. I am not impressed when my machine monitoring PC restarts itself because I loose data from machines. Why are IT dept's full of s*** ?

Re: Networking cable
 
PMSL!!!! i haven't had any problems with my newish pc with XP SP 2 & doesn't restart itself nor have i lost any data [dare it even think about it:D] but did have that problem with only SP1 hence i had to go to win 98 to run the old one
