I really don't know much about this, apparently my father does. He wants to network our two computers so we can be online at the same time. I see this as a problem because we use dial-up but okay...

He read somewhere that you only need a LAN cable to connect them and then do something with the LAN settings or whatever, but he can't get it to work. Do we need a port-hub box thing? I really don't know and he's rather frustrated that he can't get it to work. He asked me to ask you guys so here I am...

Help?
