Jump to PostNot sure exactly what you mean, Judith. You aren't saying you want both modems to connect at once, are you?
To share an Internet connection, you usually pick one machine to serve up the internet. At that point, you would not use the modem at all in the second …
Jump to PostIf you're connecting the cable from network card to network card, you'll need a cross-over cable to do so.
Jump to PostDuncanIdaho is correct, you only use the one modem, and one of the machines has to be considered as the 'Host' for the Internet connection. When it's connected to the internet, you can also access the internet on the other system.
You can't have both systems connected via modem …
