Solved 2 Computers with Internet

[emi539]

Hi i've got 2 computers and i want to connect them with internet together...I can only connect one computer becouse my modem doesnt allows 2 or more ports.So can i connect them with LAN to connect the 2 computers with internet?

Why not just buy a router ? That way you could connect both at same time.

I dont want to spend money...I want just an free-ware app to conect them

You don't need an app as Windows has Internet Connection Sharing for this situation. I couldn't find a tutorial here but Microsoft has Using ICS (Internet Connection Sharing) - Windows Help

Seems BJB found the perfect free solution. Post back how this works out please.

The picture on BJB's link shows a Wired Hub but I'd use an Ethernet Switch instead as it usually works better.

The OP only has the two computers so he/she doesn't need either switch or hub, just an Ethernet cable.
