A7N8X Users HELP !!! Need to Network 2 Computers

[sianof]

Hey Guys,
I was wondering if anyone knew how to network together two machines with the Asus A7N8X Deluxe board.

I tried putting the live line into one ethernet port and then a second line from the second ethernet port to the other machine I want to share with no luck.
The main machine is live on the internet with the live line but it does not see the second computer that I am trying to network. It is just a dead connection.

I basically want that second machine to atleast be able to network folders together,and if possible even share internet. But it is crucial that I get it to connect
Anyone have any experience with onboard networking???? This board has 2 ethernet inputs by the way.
Please help me out
Thanks
