You will most likely need a router with a switch built in. I am assuming you get 1 IP from the DSL,
only 1 machine can have this IP. There are many Cable/DSL residential routers which are not
expensive. You plug the DSL into the WAN port of the Router and plug the machines into LAN ports of
the Router. The router runs software which enables it to do DHCP on the internal network and allow
all machines to access the Internet. I recently got cable, am using a Motorla Wirless router that
has 4 lan ports in the back along with wireless . It was $60.00 (US) at local Walmart. Very simple
to setup.

Next trip to town bought a network hub ( T base 10/100)  All the Macs will conect through the hub
but XP will not. I have tried every configuration XP provides with no succes except direct
conection.
