Can you describe the sort of network you are trying to set up - do you mean two computers connected directly to each other through Ethernet?

Two Computers

In one of them two Ethernet adapter
in the other one Ethernet adapter

now in the computer with the two Ethernet adapter I connect to one adapter the Cable Modem/DSL in the second adapter
I connect RJ45 also to the Computer With one adapter

What OS are all of these computers running?
Note that with this setup, the computer connected to the cable modem will need to be on for the other one's internet to function. It may be simpler to just use a router - or if your cable modem has both USB and Ethernet ports, some modems let you use both at the same time.

Does your cable modem have a USB port and an Ethernet port?

There is nothing wrong with running a router, they are extremely easy to set up and it doesn't need to be wireless. This sort of setup can be very problematic.

Do you have a "crossover" cable between the 2 computers or just standard CAT5/6 cable?

In order to network two compters directly, you have to use a crossover cable, where pins 1,2,3,6 go to pins 3,6,1,2.

Basically, one is transmits and the other recieves.

.

Good Luck!
