rendrag Posted June 30, 2006 Share Posted June 30, 2006 (edited) and what Tain said will work, as long as both of you aren't trying to connect simultaneously. If you're both trying to surf the web, my guess is whichever PC was turned on last will own the connection (unless of course that modem is a router as well)Just out of curiousity, do you get a 192.168 IP address when you connect? you can check by going to->Start > Control Panel > Network Connections . From there, look for whatever your network connection you use to connect to the web (you may have more than 1) and double click it. From there, click on the Support Tab.
