If your modem / ISP supports it (mine doesn't) you can=20
just connect both pc's with a crossover cable and use the=20
internet connection sharing feature. Due to the fact that=20
ICS uses private IP addresses and your modem/ISP will use=20
a public one, this isn't always possible. If that is the=20
case, you WILL need a router. Check your modem=20
handbook/literature or ask your ISP if this is possible.
(A crossover cable will cost between =A35 and =A312, a router=20
from about =A350 upwards - probably still cheaper than a=20
second internet connection!!)
