Hi I'm new to this "help desk" and this has probably been answered millions of times but can two computers be connected together through the same internet connection? And Also what would I need. The computers are running xp and the is 98 internet connection is wireless broadband. Thank you.

Yes its possible. Use a router with a built-in switch. Usually 4 ports. Connect the ethernet port of each PC to the router, and connect the router to your wireless broadband modem.

So you have internet phone service?

Unfortunately, I have no experience with that.

Although it should be able to connect through the router also, assuming that the internet phone is like an "internet appliance" (i.e. your PC).
