Hi, Here's my 2 cents: Buy a 4 port router instead. You won't have to leave one computer on to use the internet on the other. It will provide a firewall of sorts, too. Also you can hook up a 3rd and 4th computer so easily. You will only need regular ethernet cables and no extra cards. Good luck. Rob
