Hi George Yes they both have the same rj port. I have set up the network, it's very easy when you get stuck in. I would imagine a wireless ad hop network would be more tricky than a cable network. One thing, when I connect the netbook to the network, it automatically dials up the internet, how can I stop this? Can I network almost any hardware such as cd/dvd writers? I've networked my printers, that works ok.

Hi Adrien, Note that I've changed the subject. Do each of the computers have an RJ45 network port? If so, you will need a network crossover cable to start with to connect them both with. However, if each PC has wireless already, you could go for a dial up wireless system. See the following for a basic explanation.
