Hello,

I'm looking to network two home computers (not related strictly to multiboxing, they're not both being used for it, just trying to get internet shared on my boxing PC)

The PC acting as the server is connected to the broadband modem thingie by USB (NOT Ethernet).

I need to buy an ethernet card for the second PC which I will do later on today assuming I'm correct in the following understanding:

The server PC only has one ethernet card in it and as it's not my PC I'm not in a position to stick in an extra ethernet card. Everthing I've read on the internet says you need TWO ethernet cards in the server PC, one for the broadband to come in, one for it to go out to the clent PC.

However, as the internet connects by USB to the server PC, does that mean I can just run an RJ45 connection between the server PC's single ethernet card and the second PC's ethernet. And then just run Internet Connection Sharing?

/sits in the corner with a puzzled expression...
