Networking

Hello,
I have just bought a laptop pc and I would like to network it to my main pc.

My main pc is OS Windows 98SE and my laptop is XP Home.
I am on ntl Broadband 150k through a 100 mac cable modem.

I know that, normally, the main pc has to be switched on in order for the secondary pc to be able to access the internet.

Is there a way that it can be networked, so that if my main pc is out of action for any reason and cannot be turned on, that I can still connect to the internet with my laptop, in order to still access my e-mail and browse the web??
I would like to use my existing Outlook Express e-mail address on both computers.

The reason I would like to be able to do this is because my pc recently had to go into a repair shop for three days and I was unable to continue with some work that I was doing.

Thank you for any help

Church Mouse.
