Networking Question

[Hardy]

As soon as I get the cash, which won't be long, I am buying a new computer. I don't want to have to pay for my own internet account, so I want to be able to hook that up with this computer, if you need the specs of both computers (not sure if you do, but then again, i know nothing about networking), here they are:

Current Computer:
Microsoft

If I decide to get the other computer, only main differance that should affect networking, is it will also have win98 2nd ed, not windows xp. So BOTH computers will have the same OS, which i don't think should matter anyway, but just in case :lol:
