You could use Internet Connection Sharing. What is the interface of the modem (USB, Ethernet, etc). Does the Apple have a network card, if so, which interface (LAN/WiFi aka. AirPort). If your modem is USB, you can use ICS. If your modem is Ethernet, you will need a new network card unless you're using WiFi. xxxx-jozh-xxxx Note: Are Windows and Mac friends?

You could either set up windows to share the internet, or a better option would be buying a router that'd share the internet between the two computers. You can get a 4 port routers for a low price. They also include a firewall which might come in handy.

You would need a router so that more than 1 computer can share the Internet connection. Once you get a router, simply plug both systems in. If you get wireless then just follow your manufacturer's guide to install that particular router. QUOTE Note: Are Windows and Mac friends? In many ways, they are. More like they are cousins with Linux. FreeBSD is its older brother or sister. xboxrulz

He is talking about Broadband so I assume his modem has an in-built router. I have never seen one that does not have it. Most I have seen use both USB and Ethernet, so if you are lucky and this is the case, simply plug Ethernet to the Mac (it should work right away with no changes) and USB to Windows (you will probably need drivers that come with the modem/router). And that's all, nothing more, it'll all work without the need for interference from the likes of ICS etc.

I know that you probably thought of this already, but why not just put a wireless router and share your connection like that? Or can you get a port switch and share your connection that way?

Wireless router would be expensive, I already have a modem/router but it's not wireless for net.

Layered Networking
barring a networked computer from using a shared connection (6) Since I haven't had any luck with my internet connection sharing problem which i posted

the answer. I won't give up the cable because i also have 2 phone lines on it, plus cable tv,
but I will get a 256K DSL connection in addition to my 128K cable. The benefits of this will be that
it's double, plus i'll get the full 256K connection for myself without having to share it
with other users. (I explained previously about the 10to1 ratio used here in pakistan)....

equally between the other computers? Right now one or two other computers will ....
