psycho2048 Posted May 30, 2006 Posted May 30, 2006 my main pc has 2 lan cards, one of which is used for a dsl modem.is it possible to connect my 2nd pc to the remaining lan port on my main computer and share the connection, without adding a router? if so, how?
JuMz Posted May 30, 2006 Posted May 30, 2006 Sure you can. The 2nd nic (the one NOT connected to the DSL) needs to be connected to the other computer VIA CROSSOVER CABLE. Then, in windows xp, all you do is go to your network connections in control panel, right click on the local area connection for the DSL line, hit properties, and enable Internet connection sharing from the Advanced tab.
