Hi,

I was wondering if someone could tell me exactly what I need in order to network my 2 laptops via the internet ADSL. Also what hardware I will need.

Kind Regards,

Stu.

2 Nics

you could set shares and hide them from the internet by adding a $ sign

kind of like password protection

e.g

cdrivepassword$

then to map this drive go to msdos and type

net use X: \\IP OF LAPTOP\cdrivepassword$

the drive will then appear in my computer
