You can get a router for under $100 and have a hardware firewall built-in.
I don't need a link for that tutorial but post it anyway. It can help other people reading this.

would have been cheaper with a twisted cable, I share my AOl account (now stop laughing at the back the wife wanted it) and it works fine you wont loose and bandwidth, but of course you wont gain any either, so it really depends on what the two computers are doing. my daughter chats on MSN and does not download so i dont notice the difference, but if both were downloading then bandwidth will half-ish
well yea i can make a cross-over cable instead of using the switch....but doesnt that slow down? i mean...using the crossover instead of the switch?

No, its the same as using a switch!!!!!
What do you think a Switch does? accelerate the connection, NO!
It just share it, in the same speed troughout all the pcs connected to it...
Cross over is limited to 10 Mbps whereas when connected though a switch or router and you use 10/100 approved hardware you will attain 100 Mbps. So it is faster for transfers within the local area network but it has no impact on internet speed.
oh well i use my switch anyways

Dwk: Thanks for starting this thread. I kept seeing the abbreviation ICF, ICF, then somewhere I saw ICS and I was getting them mixed up. Talk about happy, that helped me to clear it up.
