Get one of those firewall/router boxes. When you connect to the internet,
the computer is assigned an address that's likely different from what you
use on your network. Also, you won't be able to use both computers on the
internet, unless you've paid for two IP addresses. A firewall/router box
will allow you to have your home network and share a single internet
access.
