you need an external modem and a router with a RS232 interface or use ICS. either way surfing the net will be almost impossible if both PC's are active. just not enough bandwidth

You need to connect the two PC's together, either directly attaching them (preferably with ethernet and crossover cable) or through a hub (ethernet cards in both) or with a wireless router. Next, on the machine with the dial up connection, enable internet connection sharing and follow the wizard to configure it. It will be very slow though using two machines on dial up.

Why would you want to share a dial-up connection.? Even if you cannot get Cable Modem or DSL service you might try a cellular broadband service or Satellite service which is much faster.
Dial-up is dying a VERY quick death and is very 1990's.

STOP!!!!
get rid of dial-up other than it is SLOW!!!!!!!! its not that much of a diffrence from dsl or broadband.
there are high-speed dsl packages w/At&T that start @ 14.99
and there are Broadband packages with RoadRunner starting @ 19.99.
what do u pay for dial-up? 12.99? 14.99?
spend a few more bucks and get more speed and a more realiable connection, u dont have to be dealing with connecting, or not being able to use the phone while ur on the computer.
switch to dsl or Boradband its for ur own good.

By networking the two pc's together. That's what routers are for.

you have to network your two pc's with CAT5 cable with the proper network pattern of cables to be crimp on an RJ45, and connected to a router.
