Re: query about sharing NTL broadband between two PCs please.

if your host computer, the one with the internet connection has two ethernet connection ports on the back, and your mums computer has one ethernet connection, you could link the two computers together using a cat five cable, its a cable thats basically crossed . then link up the host computer to your cable modem in the normal way, on the host computer install a good firewall that will permit a network connection, like sygate personal firewall pro, or kiro personal firewall pro.
a simple but cheap way to connect two computers.
if you decide to install a router, then perhaps it would be worth considering a cable router with firewall built in
