One is through a cable/DSL router. The other is through a wireless cable/DSL router. The wireless router costs a bit more than the other. The regular router would require that you run some network cable through your walls. Look over at Pricegrabber.com for the latest prices. Now if you don't need to access the Internet on both PC's then all you will need is a hub or switch which are $20-30.</strong><br /> 3) Will the upstairs PC be able to access the cable modem downstairs?<br /> <strong>If you enable sharing, it will.</strong><br /> 4) What additional software will I need if any?<br /> <strong>None.</strong><br /> 5) Will I be able to control the PC upstairs from the main PC?<br /> <strong>You won't be able to control it as in turning it on and off.</strong><br /> 6) Will the PC upstairs be able to access the software on the downstairs PC?<br /> <strong>Only if the software is installed on both PC's. In other words, if you have an Excel file on the downstairs PC, you can access an excel file if you have Excel installed on the upstairs PC.</strong><br /> 7) Know any good sites to walk me through it? <strong><br /> Yes, look <a href="http://www.pcmech.com" class="bb-url">here</a> or just post back here.</strong></p> Mon, 11 Feb 2002 02:18:21 +0000 mairving comment 1101065 at https://www.webmaster-forums.net
