Network 2 Computers With Dial Up?

I need to network two computers together to share a dial up internet connection. I want to know the easiest way to do this and what equipment I will need. Please explain this to me as if I don't know much about networking, Please. Both of the computers have Windows XP, and both have a network card installed. Please explain what needs to be done next, SIMPLY. Thanks.

Network 2 Computers With Dial Up?
This can be accomplished very easliy by setting up Internet Connection Sharing on the computer with the dialup modem. You will also need a network hub (a small one will be fine) and two ethernet cables (CAT5e or better). Follow the steps listed on the link I'm providing for setting up ICS on the computer with the dialup modem. It will also guide you through setting up the other computer.
Reply:Both users are right second one I agree with it will be too slow. But XP can be setup to where you can run another computer through it and use the internet.
Reply:The simplest way would be a dialup router with 1 or 2 external modems. This is plug and play and like a ethernet router, painless.


Don't be put off buy the price. If you look on ebay you can find RS-232 routers used for about $50 and RS-232 modems for $20
Reply:I can give you a link that deals with the internet connection Many of the problems can be solved by making software changes or small hardware corrections. Detailed instructions at http://tinyurl.com/yl62gz Try here if you can get what you wanted
Reply:i wouldnt even try it it can be done but it takes a lot of configuring not to mention how slow it will be you already know how slow dial up us now divide that by half you would be better off getting the 19.95 a month dsl and doing it
