Pretty simple. You need to configure your modem in PPPOE mode. If your modem has 4 LAN ports, you may use any of the two LAN ports to connect it to both the PC. Else you need to buy a switch which starts from minimum 8 ports. You may then connect the LAN out from your modem to this switch then use the free ports to connect it to your computer.

To connect more than two systems independently,

1. Configure your modem in PPPoE mode.

2. Enable DHCP in your modem.

3. In the TCP/IP properties of your connection (both machines), set " Obtain IP address automatically ".

Me too using 2 systems. One through ethernet and other through WiFi. If your modem has 4 LAN port, you can simply plug in an ethernet cable from one of the port and connect to your second PC. Alternatively, you can use WiFi if your system is WiFi enabled.

I don't think so. LAN cables usually run for 100's of meters without any loss in data, besides being reliable than Wi-Fi.

I think you need to setup a wireless adhoc connection.

You can connect 2 PC's for file sharing etc via a crossover lan cable. [Making a crossover cable at home is an easy DIY, or you can get a readymade one from the techshop guy.]
