Barry,

You can buy routers at Walmart. That should give you some idea.

Seriously, it's a 15 minute job with experience, or 20 minutes without. Get a
common NAT router from D-Link or Linksys, read the instructions (5 minutes) then
follow the instructions.

Assuming your internet service is already setup and working, and your computers
already have connectivity, you may have just one challenge - getting the
broadband modem to recognise the router.

If you get everything hooked up, and both computers can address the router, but
neither gets internet connectivity, post back here for instructions.
