You keep asking the same question over and over. Changing to a different
newsgroup will only get you the same responses. It has been answered several
times already. You need a network card in each computer. To get independent
accss to the internet you need a router or two seperate internet connections
(broadband modems). Internet Connection Sharing does not allow independent
access. One computer depends on the other one connected to the internet. If
you do not understand the answers then please say so and some one will go
into more detail. It appears you do not have the knowledge needed to make
this work. Have you read through the links provided in the other answers?
The following link provides a tutorial on basic networking. If you don't
understand it I recommend you hire someone who does to help you.
