To share a connection, the most obvious and simple way would be to purchase a
router.. Linksys is my preferred Consumer Grade device.. If her computer room is not wired with network cable (CAT5 / 6), then you should probably go wireless.. for this you will need to install a WiFi card (or WiFi USB Transmitter / Receiver) in her system.. Here are the links that will help you: WiFi Router: http://tinyurl.com/yvh7ne USB Adapter: http://tinyurl.com/2znovh Any questions, just ask! -- FE Wm P MVP Microsoft Networking MCP | CCNA | A+ "sue" wrote: Hi, I've just bought myself a new pc n have it hooked up to the internet ready to go.... my old pc I have given to my sister and the pc is in her room seperate to mine.
