Answer 1

That's a pretty complicated subject to try to explain here. Check out the tutorial below. That should get you started.

Answer 2

.
You would only need a router or switch when you are connecting MORE THAN two computers.

1. Connect the incoming ISP signal to the modem.
2. Use a short regular ethernet cable to connect the modem to the first computer1.
3. Use a longer CROSSOVER cable to connect computer1 to computer2.

Look on the back of computer1 to see what kind of ports you have available.
The cable from the modem will probably be an RJ45 connector into the modem, and
the back of computer1 should have a RJ45 port

Now, to connect computer1 to computer2
the back of computer1 will need to have another RJ 45 port (recommended)
OR at least a USB port

The back of computer2 should have a RJ45 port also.

You will use these ports to connect the two computers, and your crossover cable will have to have corresponding connectors.
Look for these at WalMart or Radio Shack.

If computer1 does not have a port
you can install one. The port is from a NIC
Network Interface Card.

Actually, that's what is inside all the ports are connected to cards which are connected to the motherboard.

If you don't have a NIC, get one from Ebay, or other computer equipment resources.

When you install a NIC you'll just
open your computer,
knock out one of the blank slots on the back of the computer.
and plug the NIC into the motherboard
and close the computer

(remember to destatic yourself/ touch metal when touching things inside your computer).

Computer1 will need to be turned on
for computer2 to access the internet.
