Networking 2 PC's
Hey guys, need some help here.
I have one DSL line I wanna share/network with these pc's, both of which are in the same room so I can share files/printer/internet access.
PC #1 (new pc - xps 730) Windows Vista Ultimate »support.dell.com/support/edocs/s···ndex.htm
1 - Gigabit Ethernet x2 ports/jacks
1 - Westell Versalink 327W external modem/router not hooked up to anything yet
PC #2 (old pc - xps b933mhz) Windows ME »support.dell.com/support/edocs/systems/dmag/
1 - Netgear Fast Ethernet PCI Adapter 10/100 Mbps (Model FA-310tx)
1 - Westell/Bell Atlantic Infospeed B90 external modem
1 - Epson Stylor Color 860 printer
Currently using the old pc#2 with a dsl modem. I have a modem/router combo see pc#1.
Should I connect the modem/router combo to my old pc#2 first and then connect the new pc#1 to the modem/router or the other way around?
Or is there a better way?
Btw: I don't want wireless.
But all recommendations are welcome & appreciated.
Thanks!

On which pc? Replace the old dsl modem with new dsl modem/router on the old pc?
Or should I install the new dsl modem/router on the new pc and then hookup to the old pc?
You don't need to install anything! Since both computers will connect to the new modem, it does not matter which computer you connect first. You will just have to set up the new modem to make the PPoE connection. There should be documentation that came with the new modem. Read it.
