Use a router instead.
Most ISPs give you one IP. With a router, it uses that IP and then it gives you additional (internal) IPs for each PC.
I have a hub i got for free though

@VB shaw gives you two IP addresses, but you have to ask for it. I found out the hard way.
We me it was a matter of cost . I wanted to go wireless but roomie is shy on money. So it was $25.00 for a 50 ' rj45 cable, I had the hub.
I think this guide could explain better than I could :

i ran the wizard, didn't work.
i can share files over the network now though. so now i need to know how to share the internet WAN or internet connection
Should be no problem .Did you run on both computers ? Reset the hub or turn it off for a minuet or two. The link I gave you should explain it. I can't post It properly but just right click and copy then paste to your browser bar.

Link for above.
@peat: If you want to post a link click on 'Go Advanced' then click on the 'Insert Hyperlink' icon. It's the one with the globe and chain link like this: http://filesharingtalk.com/vb3/synap...createlink.gif
