Thanks for all the info! :)

We don't have a router, though... will network setup wizard thingy work anyway.. I will give it a go.

Yeah, vista is crazy.

Also, I thought about it, and I'm not sure that I've managed to share both internet and play games at once, but I've had either one at least once. I don't remember what kind of cable it is. Will not-cross-over cables work for one kind of connnection?

Thanks again for your helps :)
