Connect my 2 pc

I just got a new computer and want to know how to connect hem so they share resourses and stuff like world of warcraft can go on my new pc and my music and otehr stuff can go on old pc..so how do i do this??

 

Well first thing, you'll need a router, unless you new pc has dual lan. after that hopefully its easy, goto control panel then click network connections, and create new connection. do this on both PC's and follow the wizard. Hopefully its as easy as that...then your network is complete

Oh and if i run linux on my old pc how will it affect this network?

 

anywhere from 30 to a 150 bucks. for what you need, I would say a 50 dollar Linksys, here is a link to give you an idea http://www.linksys.com/servlet/Sate...622279&pagename=Linksys/Common/VisitorWrapper
nitecrawlers link can help you too.

Can linux and windows be in the same network together?

 

If both use Ethernet? Yes.

Network with a Router looks like this, http://www.ezlan.net/router.jpg

For Windows to Windows connection.

Successful Sharing involves some general consideration in Network settings, http://www.ezlan.net/sharing.html As well as specific adjustment of each computer according to what is allowed to be shared.
