1 PC acts like the server to the other. You connect the two PC's with a ethernet connection. Use the network connection wizard to guide you. The PC that is hooked up to the internet needs to be left on for the other PC to use its internet connection. The Ethernet cable between the two PC's is called "cross over cable"
