Connecting 2 computers through ADSL Router?

i have a d-Link ADSL 2+ router (GLB 502T) it comes with an ethernet port and a USB port.

in theory, it is possible to connect one computer through the ethernet port and the other through usb. But for some reason, my USB port gives a very very fickle connection.

I want to know if i can connect both my computers through ethernet with minimal expenditure. I thought of the foll. two methods... but dunno the technicalities involved... any help wud be greatly appreciated...

1) Router --%26gt;USB A/F to B/F adaptor ---%26gt; USB to Ethernet Adaptor ---%26gt; Ethernet Cable --%26gt; COMPUTER 1

Router ---%26gt; Ethernet Cable ---%26gt; COMPUTER 2

2) Router --%26gt; SPLITTING DEVICE X

SPLITTING DEVICE X ---%26gt; Ethernet cable --%26gt; COMPUTER 1

SPLITTING DEVICE X ---%26gt; Ethernet cable --%26gt; COMPUTER 2

ideally, SPLITTING DEVICE X should b a switch /hub or something... but i am looking at a very very basic splitter... which is not that expensive.

any ideas?
