HI. I dont know much about these things, and i would like to ask, if it is possible to share my internet with my other computer, wich i have in my network(no hub :( ). i have two network adapters, in one comes my internet ( LAN) and with the other i am connected to the other computer. If it is possible to share the internet please give me some advice, or the name of a program that can do this. Thanxx in advance

I've moved this post from Web Hosting (which has nothing to do with your problem) to General Discussion. I've also adjusted your title to better describe your issue/subject. Please be aware we have rules governing these types of things.

Should we assume you are using Windows (XP)? http://www.google.com/search?q=windows+internet+sharing

I don't have enough information about your computers/network and all the rest and I'm not an expert in these things either, but I believe that it is possible. I also believe a router is what you need, but if you don't want to buy a router then try googling for "sygate internet sharing".

Get a router.

The cheap software / ICS / many NIC approach isn't worth the headache. Trust me on that.

The only router I've ever loved is the Linksys WRT54GL (it's that EXACT model... not the G or the GS or anything else). It runs open source firmware based on Linux and is completely solid 24/7/365. Firmware and support can be found at http://wrtrouters.com
