How can I split a pppoe connection (username and pass) with a switch to two PCs?

what you ll need to get is a Ethernet router so you can plug in all the needed pppoe information into the router so it acts as a gateway for you. The router will use the dhcp server which will assign the needed ip for the machine.

    I have a pppoe connection with username and pass. One PC with Windows 7, one PC with Windows XP and Qubs 5-Port Ethernet Switch. I plugged in all the cables and my win 7 PC got instant connection. How can I give some of the bandwith to the other PC with Windows XP without the need for another internet connection account ?

      What is your configuration, exactly? "I plugged in all the cables" isn't very clear.

      It's a switch and 2 PCs. There is the main cable from the provider and the two cables from the switch to the PCs.

    I know I can use a router, but I don't have one at the moment. That's why I'm asking if there's any chance I can make this work with only this switch.
