Are you sure you have a router? Some ISPs offer multiple IP addresses to a modem and they won't let you obtain more than those addresses. If you called up the cable(?) company and told them you need to connect two PCs then they might have set you up this way. You can usually check your bill to see if you have extra fees for additional IPs. You don't need a router and both PCs are internet facing. (ie: they don't have private addresses.) A way to check this is to go to a command prompt in Windows (I assume that's what you have) and type: ipconfig
It will give you IP addresses (DON'T copy them here in case they are public IPs or you might have someone playing with your PCs) but if they start with 192.168, 172.0, or sometimes 10.0 then they are private and you are likely behind a router. Otherwise, you are setup with multiple IP addresses. (and likely paying too much for your internet.)
If your behind a router, there are specific settings per device... we'd need more info.
It seems the mods need help with this forum. I have zero tolerance for trolling, platform criticism (Rule 4), and poster bad-mouthing (Rule 3.4) and you will be reported.
