[pchelpers] Re: DSL

Billy,

Yes she can by networking them. If it is too hard to run cables from one end
of the house to the other then she should think about getting a wireless hub
and a wireless unit for each pc and or laptop. However if they are networked
together they should be able to use the same IP and use the master PC for
the Internet connection. If they are both using say Windows XP or Windows SE
with networking cards then it is relatively easy to network.

One word of caution with DSL. You should get a firewall as your IP will be
static and can be prone to hacker attack even though remote as it is. Just
another thing you have to do these days to protect yourself.

Hope this helps.

A sister I know is toying with getting DSL (in America)........she wishes to
know if she can run her PC and her husband's laptop at the same time from
separate ends of the house. I told her she would need to network them but
I'm not up with networking pc's

can you give me details and I'll pass them on.

Thanks........Billy
