Suggest you use the search bar at the top of PressF1 homepage and search in PressF1 for 'networking'.
There are heaps of posts related to this.

Also lots of websites around.

HTH :-)

You will need software that allows you to share the modem tho'. I have used wingate, sygate and numerous others (all which require purchasing or pirating). I now use Proxy plus (www.proxyplus.cz) which works very well with my ADSL modem and 3 pc's. Guest (0)

It has lots of options and is free to home users with two computers. Although you have to register (no cost just send them a nice email) after the 15 day trial.
