RE: Connecting two pc's
you would need 3 :P, 2 for one comp, the one sharing the connection... and another one for the computer receiving the internet :P

unless of course you could connect your modem to your usb port...
i think it would be easier for you to buy a cheap router....

you need two on the first computer... one to connect to the internet, and one to connect to the second computer.

what were you doing? :-/

the outside one is xp proffesional and this one is media centre 05 is that an obstacle? and what kind of cables do i need to get any software needed?

thnx in advance ;)

EDIT: sorry ment Modem.

I know what you can do, I was reading about this on the microsoft website. You need to go to a computer dealership place, talk to them about a NULL file transferring cable and see what they show you, you need 2 of them, and you have to hook them up to both of the computers

Then all you do is you go to start>>all programs>>accessories>>system tools and file transfer wizard

and follow the instructions in it;)
