TP - if you have a direct connection like DSL, there is a much simpler solution - just buy an ethernet hub. 8-port models are about $100. Just buy the CAT5 cables and plug it in, it's about as simple as hooking up a phone. The DSL or cable modem needs to be hooked up either to the "expansion" port, or with a reversing cable. All of that stuff is available at places like OfficeMax and CompUSA. The network setup is also simple - just set the computers to request TCP/IP configuration via DHCP. This also networks the computers in the home. One thing that DSL and cable modem users need to understand is you are directly on the internet, so some kind of firewall software is a good idea to keep evildoers from hacking your systems. Norton makes a pretty good product. If you are running only Win2K or NT, there are built-in security features you can use, but I would still recommend getting some commercial firewall products.
