How can both my computers be linked to Broadband

[cazdee]

Hi everyone!

I'm sorry if this is a really dumb question, but I'm confused!

I have two computers in my home. One currently has a dial up internet connection and the other doesn't have any internet connection at all. I want to get broadband, and wanted to know if both these computers can be linked to the broadband connection. What would I need to make this happen?

I hope this makes sense! Thanks!

easy done, if you're able to join them together with a cable dead easy obviously. If no cables then you'll need a wireless router and wireless cards or a usb dongle in each PC. Good routers are about �50 and dongles about �15. Cables...ethernet and dead cheap no fuss

This has been answered on here loads of times.

Scroll down a few pages to 23/03 to the item titled "Network" where i give two long answers.

Or search in here for Router

I too was very anxious about this last summer, before I went from dial up to broadband.

I worried for nothing!

Not only was it easy, but my connection is �3 a month less.

My only advice is to shop around for your internet provider (I'm with telewest blueyonder) and make sure you buy a compatible router with dongle.

Then will be the time to ask about ensuring wifi security.

Good luck and don't worry. You won't regret it.
