alright, well I thought there would be a way by just having both computers hooked up to phone lines in the house.  I guess not... bummer... now I cant spy on what my parents are doing on my other computer....

Yeah ask him, that would be cool if there is a way with just the phone lines.  The computer my parents use has a 56k modem, and my laptop says its a 56k dial up card, but it connects to the internet at 115.2 kbps(dont ask, I dont know that works).

if u use WEP encripton no...i've got Linksys WAG54G router, WUSB54G Network adapter and (to the laptop) Blekin Pci 54 G card(dont know the model)...anyway that goes a bit expensive...the router was 170 £ + 75 for the desktop adpter + 50 laptop adapter = 295 € ...(all that wireless)

You could always put network cards in both machines (if not already fitted) and put in a cross-over ethernet cable between then. Then set one of the computers to share it's internet connection (enabling dial-on-demand) with other computers on the network. This way, you can both use the internet - but the machine sharing the net always has to be on.
