plug one end of the cat5 cable to a NIC in one computer, then plug the other end into the router.

plug one end of another cat5 cable to a NIC of the 2nd computer, then plug the other end into the router.

set the workgroup of both computers to be whatever you want, but they have to be the same on BOTH computers. with respect to tcp/ip and dns, and what not, read the manual, basically everything is default... you'll have to reboot each time you change something...

now, type in the ip of the router (see manual) and go, follow the instructions of the manual, and set up the router.
