DSL sharing and NICs

[Wheete]

Hi I want to share my DSL connection with a second computer in my home. Can anyone recommend a good product for this?, I only want to connect 2 computers. I went to bestbuy and looked a little bit, they have hubs, routers, switches etc, all of them says "DSL READY" etc. What exactly do I need to do this other than 2 network cards and network cable?, routers, hubs, switches..what?. I saw a linksys network router for $99, is this enough or do I need to buy more crap to share my DSL connection with my second computer?, someone plz help and plz recommend a good cheap product for doing this.

Also is the Linksys LNE100TX a good networkcard for my home computer, or should I buy something else?

easiest way is to get a router like the linksys befsr41 (not the only one but the one i have...) then all you need to do is hook it up... and it ads the security of a firewall...

(if you just get a hub u either need 2 NICs in one pc and/or a sharing program like sygate)
