a dumb guy networking

Ok, well first off, I'm new here so go easy on me .

I was wondering if its possible to use a wireless router on a computer (with dialup) to have a connection with another computer. I live out in the boonies so no dsl or cable . I was wanting to be able to have two computers online with 1 phone line and was wondering if there was anyway to do that. Thanks guys.

you can definitely use a router to network two computers, you do not need internet access to do this. unfortunately you cannot have a computer online and use your telephone at the same time with a dial up connection.

Yes, you can share a single dial-up internet connection between multiple computers.....just don't expect much speed from it.
What opperating systems are the computers running, what hardware are you working with? (i.e modems, NIC cards, routers....)
If using windows, there's always Internet connection sharing.

Good luck.

I use one phone line for the computer dial up and one for the telephone. Could I connect both of them on one line in that case? I use AOL (I persist my parents to switch ISPs), will that be a problem with the internet connection of the network? Also, how would I go about setting up the network so I could file share and stuff.

Thanks for the welcome !
