If you have Windows 98SE and above then you can just use internet connection sharing.

almost - you need one more NIC (if you're talking about broadband)

My roommate and I have a shared DSL setup. It works wonders. Router + DSL modem + 2 network adapter cards. With new Windows (post Win95) it's not too bad to setup.

if you're going to us an ethernet based modem, don't mess around with ICS, just go with a router.

I'm confused. You just told me I didn't read your original post, that it was DSL. Now you're saying it's dialup? Which one is it?
