Looking for some network advice

[Dirk the Daring]

I need some help setting up a network. I had a look at the FAQ but I'm still none the wiser

I'd like to set up two PC's to share the same internet connection so that both can play Battlefield 2 at the same time or independently. My PC is currently connected to the Eclipse service using a Speedtouch modem, so is there any way my brothers PC can connect and play Battlefield at the same time as me or on his own without having my PC switched on?

Thanks for the help mate

Would probably be going the wired route. Both of us have network adaptors built in to the motherboards but could you advise on which wired router with built in modem would be best for the situation?
