Relatively easy (at least for someone that's done this sort of thing before :). The difference between Method #2 and #1, is that in Method #2, the second Internet Address is NOT a unique Internet address. It is in fact a private "Intralan" address that is generated by the Proxy software. Proxy as defined by the Collin's Dictionary, is "a person authorized to act on behalf of someone else". In fact the Proxy software authorizes the first computer to act, request internet data etc. on behalf of both computers.

This sort of thing used to require 2 network cards to be installed in the Proxy computer. However the people at Sygate have managed to forgo the need for a 2nd network card in the proxy computer and thru the magic of software require only a single network card to do the entire job. The cabling will need to be run from the hub's location near the high speed modem, to both computers.

The second computer will still require a network card to be installed if one is not present already. Once the cable is run, it's simply a matter of connectorizing the ends of the cables and connecting them to the Hub on one end and the network cards in the computers on the other. The Hub acts as a "splitter" of the digital signal coming out of the back of the high speed modem. It's connection into the back of the high speed modem completes the network.
