ok i get you, how far apart are yo uand your sisters pcs ?

it is possible but not strictly easy :S

yep we do.

yep we do.

ok, you will need an ethernet cable, a crossover one long enough to reach between your computers, you will thne need torun home netwok wizard on both pcs enabling internet connection sharing.

then it should owrk.

although may need tinkering.

wots a cross over one? and how do you make it a shared connection? i have a ethernet cable a couple i think..

t

you get two types of ethernet cable, straight through and corssover, to share beween pcs you need a cross over cable.

when you run home office setup wizard, in contrl panel under connections it will ask you to enable internet sharing.

how will i know what kinda cable it is?!
