If you're using XP, which you are, you're more than half-way there. Although several others will probably tell you that its not necessary, I recommend getting a router, and networking this way. I can get into specifics if you like... which router I like, and how easy it is to connect. .::] Sir Troth [::.. ___________________________________________ Computers giving you headaches? //www.freelists.org/webpage/pctechtalk ___________________________________________ ::: Original Message by HandsomeBlck@xxxxxxx ::: Wed, 5 Nov 2003 10:18:11 EST | Hello all, | I'll be moving in with my girlfriend soon, and need some info on how to | set up a network.
