There are two ways to do it, but you need network adapters on both PCs.
  • Connect the USB ADSL modem to one PC and share the internet connection through LAN. You can make a small 2 PC network by directly connecting the PCs with one another through a crossover network cable. (NOTE: The PC with the modem should be ON for the other one to access internet.)
  • Second method is to buy a multiport ADSL router, but again to connect the router you need network adapters on both PCs. you should be able to find a second hand network adapter for around 500. With this method both PCs can operate individually

can u explain the second method..coz 1st method will not work for me... we don't want to hv network..

The second method also involves in setting up a local area network (LAN). You have to connect both PCs to the router over Ethernet. First you’ll have to configure the router (enter your ADSL user name and password), rest of the settings are pretty straightforward; these days all routers come with good instructions manuals. Post here if you need more help.
If you dont want wires running around all over the place, then buy a wireless ADSL router and two wireless network adapters. But wireless routers and wireless network adapters are more expensive

    Considering your requirement it is cheaper you to get a ADSL 4 port router. then you and sis can use net when ever you wants. You must remember 4 port router connects trough network port (RJ45) and a cable.
