How do i connect 2 pcs together to access internet at the same time

Enable 'Internet Connection Sharing' on the computer that has direct access, and connect the other two however you want (through a network device, or directly with crossover).

U should connect with Switch

It seems that there are a few ways to do it. A bit more information might be helpful. I have two computers and a x360 that connect to a $40 linksys (wal-mart bought) router. I have Quest High speed inet. It comes in through a phone line to my quest modem. From there the connection goes to the router, and then both computers and the xbox can be online at the same time.

Thats how it worked for me, but as I said....I am not sure how you are seting up your network. Hope it helps.

This is the best solution. Internet Conection Sharing puts undue workload on the connect computer while a cheap router add some security by acting as a firewall.

yap, a router will do. less troubleshooting and easy to configure. try to learn the wiring configuration so that whenever a problem occured you may solve it on your own. :)
