background-i have two media center xp laptops. i have an external modem with a DSL connection. i have one laptop plug to the modem using the usb cord (internet works) while the other uses the ethernet cable. I want the net to work on both of them but can't figure it out. a while back i posted somthing about setting a network so i could do this but the internet started to work on both although i couldn't figure out how. now i am trying this again but, following the steps you all give to me, so i know how to do this in the future. both laptops have a wireless thing on them also not sure how to use it in this situation cause trying to set a wireless network failed.
problem-trying to figure out how to surf the net on two laptops using one modem and the etherner port and usb port
