u need an NIC (network card), for sharing the link.

if u intend using more than 2 systems, u'll need a switch; other wise, u could use a crossover cable.

u don't need a hub or switch to connect, all u need 2 do is get a cable with an 2 RJ45 connectors, make a direct connection with the cable, then when u have join the systems 2geda, leave the ip address, let it be on automatic, then try make a workgroup for them and u will start browsing.

Rozilla,
       This are the steps to take,
1.Create a workgroup and ensure that your computers are in the same workgroup.

2.Create an IP addressing scheme i.e make sure that they are in the same subnet e.g 192.168.0.1 and 192.168.0.2

3 Make sure the default gateway of the second Pc is the IP address of the first.

4 On the Starcomms properties, click on "share my internet connection with others". and choose you workgroup as  your  network.

5 And most importantly use a cross-over cable with an RJ-45 jack for your peer to peer connection!

I hope this helps.if u have any difficulties let me know.

Just  go to your starcomms connection
go to properties
go to advanced
go to internet sharing
enable it and that all.
Believing that you already have the other LAN card fully installed, both systems would have their IP address assigned automatically so you need not bother with assigning anything.If you still have issues feel free to holla me 08034087776
