Comp 1 - Windows XP Pro.

Comp 2 - Windows 98SE. No Ethernet card. Does have usb.

NTL cable modem - Broadband 1mb.

Would really appreciate advice and list of products
on how to get these two comps to share my cable modem as cheaply as
possible.

Many thanks.

network card & reverse wired network lead, cost peanuts. Somewhere Win
has a 'share this internet connection with another computer' but I dont
recall where. May be mentioned in the help files.

Or if you can get them cheap enough, a pair or wireless cards - set them
up as an ad-hoc network with the XP box as the bridge to the NTL
connection.
