Peer-to-Peer Networking question

If you can find a way to get a cable between the two computers, go that way. I used a cold air return duct in my father's house and snaked a pre-fab 25' cable through it.

If you're ambitious, you could also poke holes in the wall board and stuff.

Get a low cost 4 port hub and connect all three devices to it (two computers and cable modem)

Could probably do it for less than $200 Cdn., including NICs. I priced out wireless last week and one NIC alone is was $250, wireless hub was about $450.

BTW, your cable connection gives you two IP addresses?

The above answer is good, but mine is set up slightly different. You should go with cable if you can. It has a faster throughput, and it's cheaper. I only have a modem connection in my house, but I set up a proxy server on my PC, then my son can access the internet through my PC and modem, (not real fast if we're both on, but it's a modem, not too fast anyway). You can get kits from 3com, Intel and others that have all the hardware and may even have the proxy software. Last year, (I think), PC Mag reviewed several SOHO network kits, wired and wireless. You may still be able to search for that article on their web site. Good Luck.

you need just two NIC and Coaxial Cable(50 Ohm)
Connect RG58 Connector to cable, then Cable to NIC, NICs must be installed in two computers.
then you can install a peer-to-peer network and use internet.
good luck
