help for novice please!!!
I want to buy another pc when vista is available and network it to my existing pc. I have no experience whatsoever with networking and would appreciate any advice on how to avoid any obvious pitfalls. My existing pc has xp home installed and my connection is dsl broadband via onboard ethernet card. The new pc will be in the same room and no more than 5 metres away. Any pointers would be most welcome............Thanks!

Being that the computers will be in the same roon you could get away with using ICS but being a novice I wouldn't advise it. What you would be better off with is to get a dsl/cable router. Since the computers will be in the same room you wouldn't need a wireless one either just a wired dsl/cable router with built in switch.
