I have 2 computers (XP) and had a router (Linksys) to connect the second computer (in another room) to the existing DSL connection - it was a phone line router that they don't make anymore. It stopped working. Now I know I have to buy another router, but do I buy another card for the second computer as well? And a wireless router? I keep seeing the directions to "connect the cable from the second computer to port 2" and that is not what I need. Do I need a hub? And how do I connect them? I remember that at one time my son could print stuff from his computer into the printer next to me, that's what I want too. Thanks.
