Hello, me and my friend are considering to have like a computer gaming party... And all of us play on the same game in the same room... But how would we set up the internet so it would work for everyone?

Many thanks,
Josh

Well, what sort of a conection are you using? Either way, the easiest way is to buy a router and have all computers connect through that.
Once they are conected, run the network set-up wizard in XP (I assume that's waht you're using), you might want to set up file sharing as well.
You'd then need to choose the netowrk option in your game and enter the IP of the other computer.

Well if we had it round my house, we would be using a surfboard cable modem, or if they wanted they could bringa network card & ariel and connect to my wireless network, and its the same round my friends house... Any help?

The wireless idea would work. You'd need to ensure that both computers are in the same workgrou and can conect to each other.

Which game(s) do you intend to play?
