get a switch- you plug your cable modem/ whatever to the switches uplink port then u plug your two pcs in to two of the normal ports and thats it. internet is shared. You could also get pretty much any router out there today and do the same thing because they have built in routing and switching capabilities.

I dont think a switch would work at all. Switches are for networking PCs together but not for Sharing ones internet connection. He will need a Router to share the connection between the 2 PCs.

u are exatly right a switch jus connects your local network it doesnt split the internet connection for that get a router they all come with 4 sharing ports meaning u can share the 1 internet connection with up to 4 other sources at once
