internet connection sharing

[Guest]

I have dial-up internet on a computer that is connected to a home network
whith no broadband internet. Is it possible to share the dial-up connection
and have multiple computers access the internet at the same time?

It's possible but a stupid thing to do. Imagine sharing a 56k connection. A
tortouise would be faster. Get yourself broadband and a router.
