Hi,

Is it possible to connect two computers (xp) with BT connection so one
shares the Internet connection with the other?

Yes. What router do you have? The current BT Home Hub can handle wired
and wireless connections.

I mean BT connection between two computers, not by a hub

So one is connected to Web (wired or wireless) and the other wants to
share the connection via computer to computer BT connection

Sorry westieben

Unless I miss your point I do not understand what you mean.

I have PC connected to Web via Wireless
I have another PC with no wireless, both have BT connectivity
Can PC1 share its connection with PC2 without any additional hubs or
HW?

I am assuming you have BT Yahoo as your ISP. Most broadband customers
over the last few years have been supplied with a Home Hub free of
charge when they first take the service. Before that other modems were
provided. If you take a new 18 month contract they will quite possibly
provide the latest Home hub free of charge. Otherwise I think they cost
about £70.

Using a Home Hub you have one connection from the BT jack to the HUB (or
other suitable router) and then have one ethernet connection from each
computer to the Hub. The connections between the computers and the Home
Hub or USB. Ethernet is the best, but not always convenient, which is
when Wireless is used. USB provides the slowest internet connection. A
BT Yahoo Option 3 customer can have 10 email sub-accoounts (email
addresses) for no extra charge. Option 1 and Option 2 custmers can have
4.

If you want to Network your computers you will need to install
appropriate software. You do not need this software if you only want to
share an internet connection. What versions of Windows XP are installed
on the two computers?

....Not sure what "BT connectivity" is, but assuming that it is some
kind of network connectivity, then use ICS (Internet Connection
Sharing) to allow the wireless machine to serve internet to the wired
machine.

"Windows XP Internet Connection Sharing"
