Need help on choosing a network solution for gaming

[Veech]

Hello ,
I am recieving a new computer and am putting this one for parents so they can surf the web while i do my thing.

Now i want to connect the old computer and the New computer so they both use my 1 cable modem.

Now i dont know the best way to do this.

I dont want my ping time to go up cause im using a router or something. So what do i use that wont slow my ping times down. (And i am not talking about when parents are on the net, i am talking in general if the thing letting 2 comps connect to eachother will increase my ping and pl).


So what do i do buy a router , network somehow what do i do?

And if my parents are surfing the web and i am playing quake3 which is all i will play with new computer will my ping and pl go high?

Thanks for your help.

Links router is the best solution or try using the NAT that comes with w98se. Very easy to configure.
