How to connect 2 home PCs ?

I have a Win Me. I have cable connection.

I am NOT technical.

I have 2 questions

1. I bought a small Netgear Ethernet hub. Since it is over a year I
do not have support for it.

How can I connect 2 Pcs ?


2. My OE emails are MOST important.
Will I able to access all my OE emails in both PC from any PC ?
Can I use the both PC's as a back up each other ? for all my OE mails
in case one of them dies.
How can I achieve this ?

Thanks for all your help in advance.

Once again I am NOT technical

Anna

Hi - this is an Outlook newsgroup. You should post in a Windows networking
newsgroup for help on connecting your computers. And OE questions need to be
posted in OE groups (below)....but no, you can't share OE files or store
messages on a non-local drive. You can do this with Outlook, although it
isn't supported - as long as you access the PST file it uses only on one
computer at a time.

For OE, try posting in one of these newsgroups:

microsoft.public.windows.inetexplorer.ie5.outlookexpress for OE 5.x
microsoft.public.windows.inetexplorer.ie55.outlookexpress for OE 5.5x
microsoft.public.windows.inetexplorer.ie6_outlookexpress for OE 6.x
microsoft.public.internet.outlookexpress.mac for OE for Macintosh

If those groups aren't carried on the news server that's carrying this group
try using msnews.microsoft.com (MS's public news server that's the source
for all the microsoft.public newsgroups).

If you're accessing the Microsoft newsgroups through the MS Product Support
Services Community Newsgroups web interface, click
http://communities.microsoft.com/newsgroups/default.asp?icp=InternetExplorer
to get to the Internet Explorer groups, then click the plus sign next to
your version of IE to see the link to the Outlook Express group for that
version number.
