| 230017 | 2004-04-17 04:22:00 | Hi there. I have a desktop PC and a laptop. I want the laptop to share everything of the desktop including my jetstream connection. Can I just purchase a pcmcia network card and a pci network card or do I need something called a router? My adsl modem in my desktop is pci. Cheers Neil |

| 230018 | 2004-04-17 04:37:00 | Yes, you can just purchase a pcmia card and a pci card and some crossover cable, and get a proxy to install on the desktop computer to share the internet, which is what I did, but proxies can be a pain, needing a lot of tweaking for certain things such as gaming. Somehow through some weird fluke I got online gaming working on the laptop. I'd advise a router, it's a lot simpler. | Wilky (776) | ||

| 230020 | 2004-04-17 06:38:00 | I'm using ProxyPlus, it's free. Search for it on google. Not good for online gaming though, if you want to game then get a router. | Wilky (776) | ||
