Slightly off-topic networking question for the experts here:

I have a cable modem connected to an ethernet card in my personal pc. I now want to connect my work laptop, which is also equipped with an ethernet pc card, so both computers can share the cable modem. I have a static ip address assigned from my cable modem provider for my personal pc. My personal pc is running windows 95, my work pc is running windows 98. I also need to run microsoft vpn to connect to my work extranet.

What is the best way to network these two pcs so they can both share the cable modem? I have theories about placing another nic in the personal pc, or using winproxy and buying a little ethernet hub.

Any complete answers to solve this networking mystery would be most appreciated! Thanks in advnace.
