utilizing one internet connection for a netbook and a PC

I have a PC running XP home. I am considering purchasing a netbook with a data plan through my cell phone provider. I want the netbook because I have no internet access at my boyfriend's house and shoddy connection at work, and wifi is not available at either place. I am trying to avoid having to pay for internet both at my house and on the netbook. Is there a way to connect a PC to a netbook and utilize the netbook's internet access for the PC as well?

 

Khrishna:

If you have dialup for internet access then only the XP Home PC can be used.

The solutions below will only work if you have DSL or any Broad Band Service:


If you have a network hub (They are still around) then you can plug the internet connection into it and also into the netbook and the PC assuming the PC does have a NIC ( Network Interface Card)
in it. The netbook does have a NIC and also Wireless in it.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
With the netbook having Wireless built in - if you have DSL or any Broad Band service
then a Wirless Router will work. The PC can plug into the Router and the
netbook can use the wirless after the Router is set up.
