Does your DSL provider allow for 2 IP's? If not, you will not be able to have both computers playing together on the internet.

I am on cable!

here is the product description.

Yep, that'll let you play games on the internet. If you want to host a game, that's a different story. You'd have to be able to open certain ports and map them to whatever machine you want to serve on.
