Question...

I have a regular PC and a laptop at home. My PC has a cable modem internet connection, while my laptop isn't connected to the internet at all.

I was wondering if there was a way that I could get my laptop hooked up so that it could have the internet on it without having to pay for a seperate connection for it.

 

of corse there is! you have several options.

1)[easiest] buy a wireless router(router shares the internet) and a wireless card if your laptop don't have one. you can connect your regular pc threw ethernet and wirlessly connect your laptop, or wire up your laptop.
2) depending on how you pc is hooked up to the modem you can share the internet threw your PC if your modem is hooked up threw USB then share with ethernet.
