[QUOTE="theblob, post: 15683, member: 175520"] Hi all. Got it sussed, heres howif your interested. i Got the network card rolfw suggested (thanks m8) popped it into laptop didn't even need to install drivers win xp configured it itself (cool) also got a network hub. Desktop pc had install already 1 network card, i popped in another 1 and coonected 1 to the hub and the other to the modem, and also the laptop to the modem. Then i had to gonfigure xp on the desktop to allow internet connection sharing and the network wizard as this computer connects directly to the internet and other computers on my network connect to the internet throught this computer. Then came the laptop, configured as this computer connects to the internet through another computer on my network. Took me a while to work out the ip address side of things but got there in the end. Now me and the girlfriend are surfing indepenantly as i write this message. Only 1 problem i have to have the desktop on to access the net from the laptop, but thats a small price to pay :D Thanks to all who offered me help and advice;) [/QUOTE]
