I just disconnected all my wires to move my computer in my bedroom. I have everything connected except the phone wires to dial-up. I know that I need 2 wires but I have no idea. I’ve tried every possible way to connect the wires. Does anyone know? BTW I’m at the library right now. :rolleyes: I have a Dell computer if that helps. I’m just sad without my internet. 
Dial-up?
Bwahahahahahahaha 
Ya! Ya! I would laugh too, but I have DSL on the new computer we bought yesterday. I inherited the old computer and it’s going in my bedroom. Is there a way to share 2 computers with DSL and be on the internet at the same time. The way we did it before when 2 people were online was to use DSL and the dial-up for mine. I need help! How do I connect the wires in my room?
If you have XP or windows 2000 and your PC’s are networked together you can share the internet connection quite easily with ‘Internet Connection Sharing’.
Failing that you can get a DSL router from someone like Linksys and that will both network your computers together (you will need a network card in each) and share the DSL connection.
Cut ‘n’ Paste on internet sharing from my windows help file.
"To enable Internet Connection Sharing on a network connection
Open Network Connections.
Click the dial-up, local area network, PPPoE, or VPN connection you want to share, and then, under Network Tasks, click Change settings of this connection.
On the Advanced tab, select the Allow other network users to connect through this computer’s Internet connection check box.
If you want this connection to dial automatically when another computer on your home or small office network attempts to access external resources, select the Establish a dial-up connection whenever a computer on my network attempts to access the Internet check box.
If you want other network users to enable or disable the shared Internet connection, select the Allow other network users to control or disable the shared Internet connection check box.
Under Internet Connection Sharing, in Home networking connection, select any adapter that connects the computer sharing its Internet connection to the other computers on your network.
Important
You should not use this feature in a network with other domain controllers, DNS servers, gateways, DHCP servers, or systems configured for static IP.
When you enable Internet Connection Sharing, the network adapter connected to the home or small office network is given a new static IP address configuration. Existing TCP/IP connections on the Internet Connection Sharing computer are lost and need to be reestablished. For example, if Internet Explorer is connecting to a Web site when Internet Connection Sharing is enabled, refresh the browser to reestablish the connection.
To use the Internet Connection Sharing feature, users on your home or small office network should configure TCP/IP on their local area connection to obtain an IP address automatically. Home or small office network users must also configure Internet options for Internet Connection Sharing.
Notes
To open Network Connections, click Start, click Control Panel, and then double-click Network Connections.
You must be logged on as an administrator or a member of the Administrators group in order to complete this procedure. If your computer is connected to a network, network policy settings may also prevent you from completing this procedure.
Internet Connection Sharing and Internet Connection Firewall cannot be enabled on incoming connections.
For information about the protocols, services, interfaces, and routes that are automatically configured, click Related Topics.
To enable Internet Connection Sharing (ICS) Discovery and Control on Windows 98, Windows 98 Second Edition, and Windows Millennium Edition computers, run the Network Setup Wizard from the CD or floppy disk on these computers. For more information about the Network Setup Wizard, click Related Topics.
For ICS Discovery and Control to work on Windows 98, Windows 98 Second Edition, and Windows Millennium Edition computers, Internet Explorer version 5.0 or later must be installed.
The Home networking connection is only present when two or more network adapters are installed on the computer.
Internet Connection Sharing, Internet Connection Firewall, Discovery and Control, and Network Bridge are not available on Windows XP 64-Bit Edition. "
Your DSL provider should be able to help you out. Mine (Verizon) sent me all kinds of easy to follow instructions.
Um, some of us live in areas where DSL isn’t available yet; we’re lucky to have local ISPs. And even if/when DSL does become available here, my need to conserve cash and my lack of impatience with my dialup service mean that I probably won’t dash right out to get it. So hold off on the laughter just a little bit, OK?

Get a router. This also functions to network your computers & you only need one network card per computer to use it. fatwallet.com Deal Forum has links for sales on them they are almost free after rebate sometimes.
If you just want to hook up a modem, look closely at the modem port on the back of the computer. One of the two connectors will say “wall” or “line” or it might have a picture of a phone jack. Connect that one to the wall.
The other connector will say “phone” or have a picture of a telephone or a handset or something. Plug your phone into that. If everything is OK, you should get a dial tone regardless of whether the computer is on or off.
If the old computer was preivoucly set up to connect via DSL, you will probably have to reconfigure it. Look for the internet connection wizard.
As for 2 computers sharing a DSL connection, Gryff and handy are right. Wiring is:
DSL --> DSL modem --> router ---> computer 1
|
------> computer 2
And if you get a router with wireless access and a wireless network card for your old computer, you wouldn’t have to run a wire from the router to the bedroom.
