if you have 2 computers on one internet-line and want to run 2 accounts, one on each computer... you wont need to have dual-log....
just remember to use a router and setup AC to run on 2 dif ports...

As Carl said .....
An inexpensive alternative to a hardware router is to use a second network card in your "internet-connected" PC and connect your 2nd PC to that card with a so called "cross-over" ("crosslinked") network cable.
Then on the Internet PC you enable Windows' built-in "Internet Connection Sharing (ICS)", practically promoting that PC to be the router for the 2nd PC.
Those Cross-Over cables are easily identified at your local computer store near the usual Patch Cables.....
Although this router functionality costs a bit performance (because it is software-driven), that loss is neglectable when playing Online Games on both PCs. You might probably notice the loss when you for instance download a big file on the 1st PC while playing on the 2nd......
On the other hand the real problem in that scenario is your Internet bandwidth, in which case a hardware router would act not much better than the ICS solution.
