freelancah - i don't know what a twisted pair cable is,sorry.Maybe i could handle the IP address thing,
if that's similar to what you have to do when setting up a new Internet access software.
I'm not using W7,but Xp andVista.And no i can't have both computers connect to my
modem,just one at a time.
cyphyr - i have Xp on the online machine and Vista on the other one.Judging from what i've heard
so far it should be possible with these OSses too,but i simply don't know how and unfortunately
i don't have computer wizzard friends i could turn to.
T-U - maybe it's easy,but i never had a computer open and i wouldn't even recognize the HDD,not to
mention the other stuff.Furthermore i've heard terrible things can happen when you touch something
without being grounded/earthed(don't know the correct term in english).
I guess you'd lose that bet.
Cheers,J.
