Title: Need help connecting two computers to one internet connection
Post by: ado061 on July 15, 2008, 10:23:06 PM

Hi

How can I connect two computers to one internet connection?
What hardware do I need?

I was told that I can do this with switch, so I got one but i cant browse internet on my second computer.

From reading on this website I see that I may need router.

Thank you

Get a router, wired or wireless, your choice. Follow the router's instructions.

Best of luck!

First of all what kind of internet connection do you have? Dial-up, Broadband, DSL

Do both of the computers have network cards? If so are either of them wireless?
