Do you connect the second pc to the router? If there arent any available ports you could get a network switch.

How many concurrent sessions does your ISP allow? If you dont know then perhaps we might - who is your ISP?

open network connections of pc with internet, click properties, Advanced tab, check Internet Connection Sharing, click ok.


I also use a static ip for each pc eg. 192.168.1.100 for the pc with internet then the other pc is 192.168.1.101 and then in that pc's properties the gateway is the other pc - 192.168.1.100

If you are using a 2nd network card in the "main" pc to connect to the second pc, are you using a crossover network cable? If it is a straight or normal lan cable, it will not work - PC to PC requires a crossover ethernet cable.
