    Ferrit linked to a tutorial which does it without a router - just a router is sooo much easier and you don't have to leave a computer on all the time so the others can access the internet.
    Never, ever approach a computer saying or even thinking "I will just do this quickly."

    Absolutely agreed , all this 'use a x-over cable' stuff is from when home routers cost an arm & a leg .. & now they don't !

    Mostly the cost the same or a fraction more than a modem, in the UK anyway.
