You have a router... You have the cable to go from your your router to your computer. You need the NIC (ethernet card) to plug the cable into the back of your computer. Then just do the network setup wizard, and set it up..

You just plug it in to the router... and it is shared... If you have one computer plugged into the router then the other should work...
