If you router has a phone port you configure it to make your connection and then it will run both machines automatically. If not, your modem may have a LAN input, you connect the router WAN connection to this and the same applies. The best way is the first. If you are on cable, most cable modems do have a LAN connection.

"two ethernet cables from each pc to the netgear router", I assume you mean:"ONE ethernet cable from each pc to the netgear router". If not, start there.
Read the router Manual.
Stuck? Call Netgear.
