How to link two computers?

I need to know how to connect two computers using only a dsl modem box and internet access. What do I do? Can I use IP addresses? I know how to use computers but I'm not a genius. And like I said all I have is my internet connection and I can't buy anything. Any help will be greatly appeciated. Thanks.

If you can connect your modem to "Computer 1" via USB then connect "Computer 2" to "Computer 1" via a ethernet crossover cable using the Ethernet ports.



On "Computer 1" when setting up the connection choice "Connect Directly to the internet".



When setting up "Computer 2" Choose "Connect to the Internet through a router or other computer".



Another possiblity is if have a hub or switch. Most DSL modem have built in DHCP and you can run several computers from one modem with a simple hub or switch by simply plugging in.



A Crossover cable will cost about $10 if you do not have the ability to make one. If you are in school check with your teacher. They may make you one.
