  1. get  device to share the connection

    its called a router

    often on sale at big box stores

    your choice is to run ethernet cables from the router to the second computer or buy a wireless router ( both have four ports for plug in ethernet)  and a wireless network adapter to have internet wireless ( sort of a radIo)

    wireless internet is done all the time now , but its slower and more problematic than ethernet cable


  2. if they are laptops, you would want a wireless network so you can go into different rooms and still be connected, for this you would need a wireless router found at most electronic stores. You will also need to buy a wireless card.

    If they are desktops you can get a wired network which you can run wires to the rooms you need internet to, you can also have a wireless network on desktops, you will need to buy a pci card or you would buy a usb wireless card. PCI cards are a little bit harder to install since you have to open the computer and install it.

  3. The easiest way it to make sure both computers have a wireless adapter, then hook up your modem to a wireless router.
