ICS is possible but would require the 1st pc to be on in order for the second to connect to the net or you could just buy a broadband router (not an ADSL modem/router, just a basic broadband router)

I am currently running my sons internet connection through mine .
Mine is the main machine that is linked to the internet
I have connected the two computers together with a cable through the LAN port.

If you are using XP then it is very easy to create Shares where you can share devices like printers etc.
Downfall is that the main machine has to be on for the other machine to recive access to the internet.

Let us know how you get on or any probs

What would be the best way to share BB when using ethernet for the BB. Do I need a hub or use a direct cable connection. I dont want to use USB for my broadband if I can help it.

Thanks

Best way to network is thru a router, this will also give u added firewall protection... use ethernet, USB can degrade your connection. If u cant do it this way, then just link pc2pc via a xover ethernet cable... remember it has to be xover (crossover) if u do it this way.

You should be able to mate, I think you will need a network card in both pc's. I run a pc and a wireless laptop from one modem so it can be done not exactly sure how you would go about it though.
