Networking help

'Allo. Here's the situation: my buddy has a cable connection to the internet
and we want to network our computers so we could both surf on his cable
speed. Okay... how do we do this? We a have hb thing and the cords and I've
run the network wizard a couple times. Both computers say we're connected,
but I can't get online. I only have AOL with a dial modem, and he doesn't
have a phone connection at his place, so I can't get online at all. What do I
do?

Tell the AOL software you want to connect using TCP/IP instead of Modem.
