>>The $300 cable modem and the $40 monthly access connect ONE P.C. to the internet. I have three or four P.C. in the same location that I'd like to connect (preferrably at the same time). RATHER than pay the cable company nearly DOUBLE the fee, I understand that there is equipment called a ROUTER that lets four P.C.s all communicate over ONE modem.<<

I suggest you also looked into using the same solution Street Walker used to connect 3 PCs to his InterJet ISP connection. See Post number 2292 exchange2000.com in this thread. I have never seen a posting from anybody who tried connecting multiple PCs to one cable modem but because what you are doing is so similar to what Street Walker is doing it should work. Unless there are hidden gotchas I don't know about. You will need a network interface card in each PC, a Hub, and network translation software similar to SyGate.
