Intrenet problems?

Question

can you have one computer that has internet and some how connect it to a second computer, will the second computer have internet access

Answer 1

All Windows computers since 98SE version have offered a utility called internet connection sharing.  Go to support.microsoft.com and look up specific support center for your Operating System Version.

Physically you need to have a connection to the other pc.  Either a direct connect cable or you can purchase a small switch and plug in ethernet cables from the two computers and then configure the internet connection sharing.
