I have two PC's connected to each other with a parallel cable. But I only
have a dial-up Internet connection on one of the PC's. How can I use the
Internet on both PC's at the same time?

Thank you in advance for you advice.

Windows XP's built-in Internet Connection Sharing feature doesn't work
over a parallel connection. It requires an Ethernet, IEEE 1394
(FireWire), or Bluetooth connection.

An Ethernet network connection is much better and faster than
parallel. Most computers that can run Windows XP have a built-in
Ethernet port. If not, you can add an inexpensive Ethernet adapter.
