routers

im bringing my comp to a friends house in a couple days, and we both want to have interweb access. he's currently on a single line from a router that we don't access to (it's a duplex and the router is in his neighbor's place). i have a router of my own, but have never had any experience hooking up a router to another router. can we hook up my router to his line and then both our comps to my router and have net access? if so, how (will i need to set up my router differently than if i was just connecting it directly to a modem?)

both routers are generic linksys models. any help would be appreciated

Hey OP so let me see if I get this right.

Your going to your friends house who only has one connection available for both of you.

So you think by bringing you own router you can fix said problem by hooking it up there and then connecting both comps (or XBOX w/e) together.

I think thats what your trying to do.
Now without knowing the type of routers you both have I really couldn't tell you off the top of my head how to configure both together.

So then what to do? simple.

Go to best buy, circuit city, target, etc, and get an IP Switch. They cost about 15-30 bucks (best buy carries the Dynex ones, which are the cheapest and work very nicely (I use them for when im out of ports) )

You then take the connection from your friends house and connect it to one of the ports EXCEPT FOR THE UPLINK PORT, DONT PLUG INTO THAT; then you connect your and your friends stuff to the other ports and enjoy your prons, games, or other.

Hope this helps
