    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!
      If you don't have time to do it right
                      ...when will you have time to do it over?

        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?
