You need 2 ethernet cables and a router. All you have to do is connect the eithernet cables from the back of one computer to the router and same with the other one.

once you have done this restat both computers.

Now;

Open Windows Start menu on one computer.
Open Control Panel.
Classic view: Open Network Connections
Double-click on Local Area Connection which is your Internet connection.
Click Properties.

Then under the general tab, it will say in the second box Down ' Internet Protocol TCP/IP'
Click on that and then click Properties

Then another window should apear and you need to select 'use the following IP address' after you have selected this you need to type in the following;
IP Address: 192.168.1.1
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
Default Gatewat: 192.168.1.1
