    right so i have a friend coming down and we plan on networking our pc's we've never done it before.

    anywho we both have networking cards and we have some cross over cable. now here is the thing we where just gonna directly connect the pc's together to save the hassle as there was just two of us, though he does have a router/hub/switch whatever but i dont' know if i have any normal cable knocking about.

    anywho what i did was switch my bb connection to usb to free up my ethernet port, will it be possible to share this bb connection if we network the two pc's together if so how?

    cheers

    ICS? not familar with that, we'll be using it for gaming, either just the two of us and some bots, or hopefully both of us playing online,

    i'm on XP pro, he's on ME
