there are several ways to do it. you can use a hub, switch or router. a router is probably the best bet. usually pretty easy to set-up and costs around $100 (depends on brand) they all come with instructions on how to set it up. with router you dont need an additional IP from ISP and you can connect up to 253 computers if needed... good luck
