  1. If you're in the same building, he could buy a wireless router/modem which would enable you both to use the same internet connection.


  2. Yes you can.  You have to turn on Internet connection sharing on your friend's computer.  This is easier to do with dialup because with DSL, you are using up your ethernet jack on your computer.  Dialup used your phone jack, so the ethernet jack was free.  A switch will also work, but if you invest any money, buy a router instead.  The way we share Internet connections now is through a router.  Routers can be wired, wireless, or powerline.  Powerline is an alternative to wireless.  It uses your electrical outlets to plug into your home network.

  3. haha you wish

  4. yes you can. You need a multi port modem or a hub so you each have cable. (you must have ethernet port, of course) you should setup a network. Or you can connect via wireless network.

    All these can happen if you are in the same building. Otherwise No

  5. No.
