Default How to make two PCs get online together???

Hi I have some problems when I setup the internet connections for my two computers. I would like to make them both get online together by using a router with LAN cables.

First of all, my router is a "wireless router" not a normal router, it has 1 WAN port and 4 LAN port (i.e. L1, L2, L3 and L4).

Method 1:
I put my DSL cable to WAN port, a LAN cable from PC1 to L1 port, another LAN cable from PC2 to L2 port. The result was both PCs COULD NOT get online.

Method 2:
I put my DSL cable to L1 port, a LAN cable from PC1 to L2 port, another LAN cable from PC2 to L3 port. The result was both PCs COULD get online but NOT AT THE SAME TIME!!!

Could someone please tell me which cable connection is correct? (i.e. method 1 or method 2)

Also, how can I make both PCs get online together?

Many Thanks
