Hi everyone;
I have 2 computers at home and use dial up modem (one
phone line). can i use internet on both computers the
same time?i think no, because This is impossible 2
computers with one phone line, so how can connect both to
the internet? by the way they are not network too.
Thanks for any help,
Faram.

You need at least a network. If this is available, you can use the ICS
feature.

Faram,
Not possible without networking the two. You need to purchase NIC cards =
for the two systems [no need for a HUB for two systems] and create a =
home network using Windows XP Network Setup Wizard [Which automatically =
shares the Internet Connection and creates file shares]. I read it's =
also possible with a DirectParallel cable setup, but haven't tried it =
practically myself.
