Can a networked computer also operate independantly?
I am setting up my first home network and am unclear on whether or not a computer in a home network can also dial up an internet connection independantly, i.e., if I connect my own Dimension to the network I am setting up for my children, can I easily connect, disconnect, and reconnect to the network?

noordinaryspider,
Yes, each PC will be able to perform dial-up networking to your ISP (and thus the internet) independently.
Your home network probably connects the computers using ethernet network adapters (either wired or wireless). They are completely independent of the dial-up networking adapter (the modem) in the computer.
