    Hello,

    I'm trying to connect my laptop(DELL INSPIRON 6000) to my adsl modem with a blue network cable. I am plugging it into the ethernet port in the adsl modem and then into my laptop. Can someone please tell me how to set both computers up so i can share an internet connection. I am Running Windows XP on my laptop and windows 2000 on my other desktop Pc.

    Thanks for all your help! :)
