How can I add a computer on the internet to my lan?

there are quite a few solutions, but i think all of them would be a little expensive..\nyou could create a vpn between the two LAN's but i think at least one of them would require a static public IP address from your ISP, which would not be cheap (besides the VPN router)...\nyou could go wireless but using equipment more expensive than the home/office wireless routers you find in best buy..\nI dont know what game you are talking about and what networking capabilities is has, so these are just general options..

If  you  want to setup a network  to share  the resource  on other computers  like for file sharing and printer sharing.  Then you will have to follow either of the two ways.\n\n1.  make  a  windows  xp Pro  or  a  Win2k pro machine as a dhcp host and connect other computers  and they would get  ip address  from the  server.\n\n2. connect  all the machines  and  assign them  ip addresses  of the same ip range with  the  similar  subnet mask.\n\nfor more info you can mail me at  paradiso_paradise@yahoo.com\n\ngood luck and regards.\n\nParadiso

You can use your pc as the server.  Connect your peripherals to the computer (although your better off getting a wirelles router with built in firewall) and then use the home network setup wizard on the computers you want to allow access to your server.  Create a set-up disk for new users later.  \nThe best thing you can do is to get another hardrive to use for the shared data.

Very carefully.\n\nBasically You have internet connection plug into router.\n\nSecond: plug computers into router. It's most liekly setup for DHCP so the computers will get local IP addresses automatically. After that you should be good to go.

you'll need a wireless router and adapter for the other computer

Well! First make sure you hav lan cards on both the computers, then connect them using a lan cable on the backside of the computer on the ethernet port.\nNext,\nIf you are Using Windows:\nOpen Control Panel > Network Connections\nRight click on the icon showing 'Local Area Connection' and click on Properties\nSelect TCP/IP on the list of items and click on Properties\nSelect 'Use the following IP Address'\nEnter as follows:\n      IP address: 169.169.169.168\n      Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0\n      Default Gateway: 169.169.169.168\n      Preffered DNS Server: 222.222.222.222\n      Alternate DNS Server: (Leave blank)\nDo this on the other machine: \n      \n      IP Address: 169.169.169.167\n      Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0\n      Default Gateway: 169.169.169.167\n      Preferred DNS Server: 222.222.222.222\n      Alternate DNS Server: (Leave blank)\nClick Ok\nClick on 'Set up a home or small Office Network' in 'Network Tasks' (left side)\nA wizard will open\nClick next\nClick next\nSelect the third option\nSelect the third option\nClick next \nclick next\nClick on 'Turn on File and Printer Sharing'\nClick next and then click finish\n\nRun the wizard on the other computer too\nNext, right click on the drives which you want to share(both the machines) go to the sharing tab, check 'Share this folder on the Network' and check 'Allow network users to change my files'\nThe drives will be displayed in 'My Network Places'\nIt should be in your Start menu!\nThat's It\nEnable LAN(Right click on icon and click enable) on both the PCs and enjoy! \nAnd plz rate this ans as the best if you want!

With LAN, just a crossover cable will suffice. with wifi then an absolute doddle.\n\nThere is a wizard to help you set the netwrk up, run it on both machines, make sure that both machines are marked belonging to the same group : mshome for example - and away you go.\n\nIf you have problems, please be a tiny bit more specific - eg; hardware or software queries.\n\nYou do *** NOT *** need a server to connect two PC's, you do not even need a hub.

Assuming you have modem - go with 'Windows network'\n\nOtherwise, crossover ehter net cable.

easy solution:\n\n-buy a cheap router which has 4 ports for internet connections.\n-buy 4 cheap ethernet cable (u should already have 1)\n-install the software of the router on computers (u may need to install only on 1 pc,try)\n-plug the ethernets to the 4 port router (there is a 5th port for ur internet connection)\n-after connecting each ethernet to ur laptop or pc ull have them all connected to the internet and Lan network.\n-u can play transfer info and etc.\n-this is from my own experience and definately works

Your laptop probably also comes with an ethernet port, so if your PC has one you can link them with a special crossover cable.  Or you could prepare for more computers being linked to the same LAN by using a network hub and standard ethernet cables.

Yes there are lots of different ways to accomplish this.\n\nIf both computers have network cards you can use a crossover cable(network cable with specific wires crossed) to connect them setup ip addresses and file sharing.\n\nUse a router or switch and plug them both in with regular network cables. \n\nUse serial cables and setup a direct connection.\n\nIf both have wireless cards you can setup an adhoc network between the two or get a wireless router and plug one in and have the other wireless.

yes you can - if you get a router - either cable or modem - depending on ISP - you can then set it up as a local DHCP server, and will then be able to get to the internet on any kit connected

You would need to hook up a router. If the computers are next to each other a hard wire router would work. If they are in different parts of the house, you would need a wireless set up. If wireless is needed, I would look into a good firewall too (which you should do anyways! :))\n\nYou would need this set up even if you had cable internet.

Buy a router, so you can LOG into the internet with that, and share your connection.   The router also estabilishs a network, so you can share files between computers.  \n\nI recommend against wireless, unless you MUST.   A wired network is much easier.

Both support TCP/IP which you are using now. Set up each computer with an address on the same subnet.
