Hi, I currently have DSL service with 2 static IP addresses. I connect my two computers using a hub. My ISP is changing and the new one provides dynamic IP. They say that I can hook up to 3 computers, but they do not provide the tech. support. How can I connect my two computers to DSL? (one is a PC with WinME, one is a laptop with Win 98). What do I need in terms of hardware and software? Thanks.

i have 1 ip addy(cable) and i run it through a lynksys router to a total of 4 computers, all with different ip addys on 1 connection. was easy to do and not too expensive,225$ all 4 of my computers may be logged on the same place such as mplayer.so i get 4 for 1 as i see it...maybe im not too damn bright but at least im content...hehe

If you already have a hub, get a lyksys DSL router w\o the built in hub, and simply hook it up to your hub (all explained in the instructions) its easy and cost about $100-$120.
