Discription of the problem at hand
In the spare bedroom, I have an older PC that I use to connect to the internet. My internet is a dialup connection. The older PC is interfaced with a netgear wireless router. Now I have the Dell Latitude laptop with wireless capability so I can use my laptop anywhere in the house to go on the internet so no problem there. Currently my laptop is in the living room. Next to the laptop is my newer PC that I play games on and stuff. I don't have a long enough network cable to interface the newer computer to the netgear wireless router thats in the spare bedroom and at this point, I do not want to spend the money to get a wireless card for the newer PC. So in order for me to copy files between the laptop and the newer PC is I've connected them with a single crossover network cable. Sharing files between the 2 machines (laptop and newer PC) is not a problem. The only thing I can't do is access the internet using the newer PC. Primarily why I need to have access to the internet on the newer PC is to download realtime weather data for use in Microsoft Flight Simulator 2004 and thats it.
How do I get the newer PC to have internet access?
