Yes. Check with an electronics store and ask about internet routers. You will need to decide if you want wired or wireless. It helps if you can tell them information about your computer connection speed, and they can advise you on what will work for you. Good luck.

If this is a DSL or cable modem connection, get a router and set it up for multiple computers. If it's a dialup connection, then a network hub would be in order. The computer dialing in would also use ICS (Internet Connection Sharing) to share this connection with another computer although it will be VERY slow.
NOTE: if both computers want to play the same online game hooked up to one connection, it won't work...game servers will not accept duplicate IP's like that.

Yes, go buy a router and connect it to your modem. It has the instructions on how to do that when you buy the router. Then your other computer should be able to connect to it.
