up cable on both my PC's. could i run a Y splitter

Why not just use a hub or a switch.

im trying to do this the cheapest way possible. would a hub
and switch be less expensive?

Question

Would the second cable modem cost you anything? If the answer to that is yes then a cable router is cheaper.

If you have a second NIC...
Why buy a hub?????
Just install the second NIC in the computer with the incoming connection and run a cross over cable (from the 2nd NIC) to the other computer.

Its the perefect solution for a 2 Computer network, and its cheap.

total cost, 1 cable

hub solution: Total cost
HUB
1 cable
