homecomputeraid Posted November 26, 2005 Report Share Posted November 26, 2005 In order to just connect two PC's, you'll need to Network Interface Cards (NIC's) in one of them, and you'll have to configure the one with two NIC's as a router. A safer alternative is to get a home Switch/Firewall/Router and plug both PC's into that. You'll probably have to configure the router for PPPoE. You'll set your user ID and Password into the Router. If you decide to do this and need help with that, please post the model of Router you get.Good luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
