Two computers on the same line

How do you go about connecting two computers to the same BT line.
One is upstairs and the other one downstairs.

I have two connected, one on ethernet and one on usb, both from the same router, as yours are far apart then I think you will need to look at a wireless router centrally located in the house

Wireless router would be one option, wired router with a very long ethernet cable run would be another. Are you restricted in how much you want to spend?

That was quick.
I don't think its going to be possible to run wires from one to the other, so I assume its the wireless way.
Don't want to over spend as its only temporary

What BT hub have you got and are both computers desktop?

When you say line do you mean dial up or broadband?

Its a D Link modem. Both computers are desktop and its a BB connection I'm after.

Wireless adsl router and a wireless card/ adaptor in the PC away from the DLink is what is needed.
