It may be a better choice to get a router and connect your 2 computers to the
router. Using Cross over cabling to connect your computer directly to one
another,may have some drawbacks and could be part of the bandwidth problem.

Router is the intelligent technology choice. For you having a DSL connection
make sure it's a DSL capable router. The Security for routers are superb and
will also boost the security of your home network. Depending on the router it
will allow all computers connected to it, full access to bandwidth on all
ports.

The key is when you have the router and before going on the net is to
connect to the firmware program in the router and setup all the security
features. Routers have a built in chip that has software installed in the
chip. You access the firmware by using your web browser, to connect directly
to the router and setup all the security configurations.

Hopefully this will help
