I am new so I wanted to say Greetings to you all.
I have restore a old computer for my little sis. she wanted to get online too.
I never have any experience on networking. but I am OK in computing. I know that the easiest way is to get a router but since I can't afford it. I have seen some people connect theirs computer by means of Host and client. the host will need 2 network card and the client need one. how can that be done?
I have try a program call Sygate and it didn't work.
and I got free ADSL since my dad is working in a ADSL company. and he said we got 2 IPs. (don't ask me why he didn't setup our computer, working in a ADSL didn't mean he is a enginner)
can anyone please help me.
Also, if I am going to buy this product, will it help ?
