Sharing an Internet connection

denhamd2 · 2005-07-22 23:02:12

Hi, I have two PCs in my house and I have no clue about networking. I basically want to share the broadband from one with the other. Does anyone know what I need to do this (cheapest option please) and how much it would cost? thanks

What type of broadband router do you have? Does it have an ethernet (network) connection?

Do your PCs have network cards ?

If yes, then a cheap 5 port hub and a couple of network cables will do the job
