free internet use

Options
So long as one person in your household has a broadband account, then other computers on your home network doesn't have to have an email address on that account. Instead all they need is a free MSN Hotmail account, all their internet searching, email, messaging etc wil be done through Internet Exlporer itself, (or the MAC equivelent). It is silly for someone to have a dial up internet account and using it through a broadband connection via a broadband connect PC and stil pay for it. If that is what some people do, then cancell the dial up account and rely on Internet Explorer via the home network. In some case you could be some £15.00 per month better off.

    Most bizarrely worded post i've seen in a long while.

    What you're referring to can be simplified to a Home network via a wired or wireless router, which will give internet access to any pc connected to that router.

    Or another computer is attached to the computer that directly connects to the internet & the connection is shared via ICS (Internet connection Sharing).
