Use a router - you can both use it hen.

you need a better router than you had before then, go for either netgear or lynksys and you won't go far wrong.

I know what you mean - had a car once, it was rubbish, anyone know how I can fix to motorbikes together to make a 4-wheeler?

What you want is an ethernet switch hub.

Instead of taking the cable out etc. would it not be simpler to just rightclick the connection icon in the toolbar and click 'disable'? When you are ready to go back online do the same again and click 'enable'.
This is a lot quicker than removing /inserting cables.
