I want two computers working on the internet but dont know how

[racerzeke]

I have one computer hooked up via the little ethernet box... there is only one port for a ethernet line which goes to my computer and another port for a dsl line which goes to the phone jack.... how can i connect another computer to the internet?

Buy a router. You can hook up several computers using one.

You need to get a router. Google it. Buy a Linksys one. Hook both computers to the router. Everything works perfectly. Viola. (I'm sorry...but I'm very hyper right now)

Buy an Nic / Network / Ethernet (whatever you want to call it) card

does the brand of the router effect the speed of your internet?
