Re:Well, I always say save $.
This is all you need:
A running old computer with 6 megs of RAM and a floppy drive.
FREESCO from FREESCO (http://www.freesco.org)
2 NICS for your FREESCO Box
2 NICS for your computers
1 HUB.
If you go 10BaseT you can get all of this for around $80, not including the old PC.

Re:<< With only two computers you might want to consider putting two NIC's in your main computer and use a cross over cable. Now this is good if you have Win98 SE or later so you can use IP connection sharing. Also if you decide later to use a HUB you can connect it to the second NIC and then connect several computers to the HUB again using IP connection sharing. >>

Re:<<except a hub will cost you 40 dollars that the most, while a router will be at least 100>>
True. But I thought that a hub will not parse the cable connection … so I'd guess you'd need another IP. The router parses the connection back to the requesting comp, so only one IP is needed. Or have I got this wrong again?

Re:JackMDS is going to come in here with a whole bunch of Links. But probably the best one to check out is the Anandtech FAQ. Or do a search on these forums.
