I have two pc's connected by a cable. One PC has ADSL connection to the internet. what is the best way to connect the other PC to the internet as well?
Any suggestions would be great.

Thanks
 
I would purchase a router. With rebates they are pretty cheap right now. Connect your ADSL modem to the router and the ports to your PCs. "A little knowledge is a dangerous thing....." [idea]
 
PS, you won't need a cable between them any more, the router will share the two PCs. "A little knowledge is a dangerous thing....." [idea]
 
How can I download Internet Explorer 6.0 to a floppy? I know that the disk is free but will take 4-6 weeks to be shipped. I need to download to floppy as the computer it is to be used on is not able to access Internet.
Any solutions?

 
You are going to need more than just a floppy if there is no internet connection on the target machine. You can use the ie6setup file but that file is going to look for an internet connection.

You will need to download all the files and burn it to a CD.

From a machine that has an internet connection run the ie6setup file. When prompted select Custom Installation. Select Advanced and then select Download Only. This will download all the setup files which you can burn to a CD. joegz
