Dimension 2400, do they come ready to be networked
Well basically I want to take my xbox online, but im not buying the xbox lvie kit till I am sure about this.
Can dimensions 2400 share its internet connection with other PCS/consoles I think it has a network card that has an ethernet port and two usb ports, is there anyway to check?
thanksz tom

Its DSL. The thing is steve I have no real desire to by a router for my little room there would be absolutly no point. So could I do it with my pc now?Is it a USB dsl modem or an ethernet dsl modem. If it is USB, then you can still connect one other device to the ethernet port using a cross-over cable. If it is ethernet, then you will need a second ethernet card in the computer that connects to the dsl modem. In both cases, ethernet cards would still be connected by a cross-over cable and Internet Connection Sharing would have to be enabled on the computer that makes the connection.

Have an existing network with another Dell as the "sever" with a router and 2 wireles laptops. How can I add the Dimesion 2400 to the existing wireless network. Do I need a wireless card for it? or can I do it with XP and the Integrated card?
thanks

What kind of internet connection do you want to share? If it is a broadband internet connection, then the best way to share the connection would be to purchase a cable/dsl router. If it is a dialup connection, then you should be able to share the connection with one other device by connecting the network adapters together using a special network cable called a cross-over cable and then turn on Internet Connection Sharing in Windows XP.
