I would recommend an inexpensive router - $30 or so. That will add some firewall protection, and the ability to use either computer by itself, without requiring the other to be "up", and also not use resources of the other box.
I personally like having a wireless router so I can use my laptop anywhere in the house, and have both desktops (kvm switch) cabled in to the router --- "Mhyk C.D." <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Dear Gurus, > > I would like to share my DSL connection with another > PC running WinXP.
