Hello sir, you can broadband router and configure interent to the router and use it, desktop can use with wire and laptop can use as wirless.

no, i have no broadband and router, i connect through hathway cable.

You have to buy broadband router or you make one pc as server and share the internet via lan.

Broadband telephone modem/router is different from cable internet modem/router.

@azharnadeem2005, I am not very familiar with cable internet but try PPPoE setup. If that is not possible you can use internet connection sharing (ICS) as follows:

Hathway <--> Cable Modem <--> 1st Computer <--> 2nd Computer

- 2nd computer connects to internet thru the first computer.
- 1st computer must always be ON and connected to hathway
- 2nd computer must be connected to 1st computer via LAN crossover cable

Please ask whitestar_999, skap or superprash who are experts at these things.

I recommend this site for configuring ICS in Win XP

In the broadband router there is a option of pppoe where the uername & password is logged in everytime, u dont have to on any pc, only on the router,any pc get accessed to the internet.

any body knows how to share using a switch
