Using more than one PC with a Cable

[Journeyman]

What is needed to have two PC's online at the same time if you have cable internet access?

J-man, You need to network the two PC's, not to hard, but I've never done it...

I would look up instructions, just do a search at google, or ask.com

You need a router and 2 network cards(wireless or not?) to plug into your pc's, along with a few cords(maybe). You plug cable access into the modem, then port(cord?) out to router, where you port(cord?) out to your network cards in your PC if you choose wired. Very cableless is available and I have a wireless router, but I choose the wires as it is better security for me.

Wire(less) router and network cards.

I use a wireless B router with 2 out to my pc's and one out to my PS2.

Wireless will set you back about $120-200 for the base station and wireless ethernet cards.

the cheapest way is to
plug in another ETHernet card in your
primarily machine, then setup
a crossover utp cable hook up then
by setting up an small network cloud..

class c network... then the primarily machine
has to act as a gateway by letting the the EHT0 to bind the ETH1, that's an easy option included in wk2 and winxp, if you don't have those OS, then download a proxy program and then configure it in your client...

that's gonna costa you a max bid of $15...
