I have 2 computers one running windows 2k and another linux. I have cable
internet (maybe dsl in the future) and I want both computers to use this
connection. The only other piece of hardware I have available is hub. I
don't have any routers or anything else that has dhcp server in it. Windows
machine has 2 LAN ports so I was thinking of maybe connecting modem to one
LAN port on windows machine and then connecting second LAN port on first
machine to LAN port on second machine. The 2 questions I have is:
1. Is this the correct way to approach this problem in my situation
2. If yes, what do i do next after I connected 2 computers together. Is the
connection sharing thing available on windows is what i need to use.?
