I just went out and bought a D-Link 10/100 switch, and am trying to get the network having shared inet access.. I can access the internet just fine on the main computer, but what do I have to do on my brother's computer to get him to be able to access the internet?

Hrm, I can't seem to get basic LAN access, either.. What's going on here? heh

You need to first setup your LAN, then run some kind of software ICS software (Windows ICS, Sygate, etc... ) on your main computer to share the internet access with the other one...

for more information on how to setup your LAN, go to HomePCLAN
