Is there a way to allow 2 different computers to be online at one time using dial up?

my brother and i both have computers and we use dial up. is there a way for both of us to be online at the same time without having 2 different phone lines?

You don't mention which OS you're using, but Windows XP allows you to configure one PC as a bridge through which you can connect other PCs to the Internet. I wouldn't do it, however, because dial-up speeds are too slow even for a single PC.



Most likely, your phone or cable company can provide an ADSL connection through your phone line or TV cable. Your phone line would be free for phone calls even while on-line, so you don't need any extra lines. Price would be comparable -if not cheaper- than a 2nd phone line and 2 dial-up accounts. And they might provide for free a router that allows you to connect more than one PC to the Internet, so you wouldn't need to configure one PC as bridge.



In short, I don't recommend sharing a dial-up connection, try asking your phone and cable TV providers for ADSL options.

yes it is possible to have two computers use the same dial-up connection



all you need is networka adapters in both the computers. network interface cards. and set up Internet Connection Sharing, which allows to share your uinternet connection.



And you will have to start the internet on the computer with the modem, and thenm you can use it on your computer too.



Send me a message if you want me to walk you through te procedure.
No..that is impossible by having only one phone line..isn't DSL available at your place?
