Who said anything about sharing the internet through one computer? OF COURSE you wanna plug both of them into the router for internet. I was just mentioning crossover cables cos he asked about connecting directly. He wasn't asking about internet usage.

Anyway, why don't you just try plugging them both in the router and put them in the same workgroup and set the IP addresses for the LAN connection to be same except the last digit. Then see if they can see each other in network neighbourhood or computers near me.
