Q: I want my new computer that is connected to built-in network support, with my ADSL modem / router and my old computer that no network card. I am thinking of buying a switch / hub and a network card, but I do not want to spend a fortune. Any suggestions?
Thank you:)

Re:You need a switch anyway and a router has a built in switch. Buy a router. Routers are $30-40 dollars.

ICS is a nice touch to the Windows OS. However it was developed years ago. I do not think that Broadband Internet and similar situation was taken into account at the time of the development. Even Microsoft use to sell Cable/DSL Routers for the purpose of Broadband Internet connection sharing. The next version of Windows XP might include a NAT much more suitable to the current state of Home networking.
What kind of problems are going to arise? I want to avoid the cost of buying a router. If the problems cannot be overcome then I will buy router but if I can avoid it?
ICS is a good choice to share Internal DialUp Modem between two computers it becomes a long term liability when used otherwise. It might work for a while and then will start to drive you "Crazy".
This is the typical scheme that is used by millions of people around the world. Who know it might be good for you too.:thumbsup:;):beer::music:

Re:I discovered a new scheme and I want to confirm it. Put a network adapter to the old computer and connect the two computers directly without switch/hub. Connect the adsl modem to one of them. And using Internet Connection Sharing share the Internet without router and without switch. Is that a good idea?

Re:My modem is ADSL Router/modem. This mean that it can be connected onto the switch. The whole scheme that I have in my mind is: Connect onto the switch ADSL Router/ modem, connect the computer with the built-in support onto the switch. Use a network card and connect and the other (old) computer onto the switch. Is this impossible?:confused:

Re:Best Buy has a wireless 802.11b WAP+4 Port switch for $5 after MIRs if that wets your tongue. Pretty good buy, plus, if you decide to go wireless in the future, you're set!
As for a wired NIC, like guy said, anything cheap works.
