2 PCs 1 broadband connectionI have a PC connected to broadband by cable from ethernet to modem. I would
like a second PC to have access to this broadband connection. Can I do this by installing a network card in both computers and joining via a crossover cable. I presume this would mean that the 1st PC has 2 network cards. Thanks for any advice. On Thu, 10 Aug 2006 06:52:01 -0700, johnmsh wrote:

A better way is to get a router to attach to the cable modem then attach both computers to the router. A router will cost you not much more than a NIC and the crossover cable needed to use ICS.
