  1. connect your internet modem to a router, and ONLY a router not a switch, and unless u are back in the 1990's you will not find a hub anymore, then connect each computer to the router, let your router act as the dhcp server.

    first disconect the electric to the modem, plus the ethernet from the modem to the uplink on the router, then to port 1 on router connect that to one computer, port 2 to next computer and so on.  turn modem on let stay on for 1 minute.  turn router on and let stay on for 1 minute, turn 1 of the computers on, follow the directions for your router, set up dhcp on the router  and you are done, then turn the rest of the computers on.. if its wired will take about 15 minutes from start to finish


  2. in order to accurately reply to your question, we need to find out additional details. answers to questions such as,

    1. what operating system is your computer(s) running on?

    2. do you have a cable or dsl modem?

    3. is cable or dsl modem wireless capable?

    4. you have mentioned that one computer is already connected, how do you want the other computer(s) connected? wired or wireless? (for wired connections, you will need cables for each computer that you want connected. for wireless, you need wireless interface cards for each computer you want connected.

    5. is modem multiport? (meaning are there additional connections where you can connect more than one computer to it?) is it wireless capable?

    6. if modem is not multiport, do you have a router? if so, is it wireless capable?

    7. explain in detail what you want to do, how many computer(s) you want connected and how do you want it connected.

    reply to the above questions and i am sure someone will correctly guide you through the steps in connecting your computer(s).

    good luck!!!


  3. simplest way is to get a hub or router with multiple ports. the line that goes from your modem to the computer would then plug into the wan on the router. Then you plug the other computers in the ports beside the wan plugin.

  4. If it's a physical connection then you will need either a switch or a router with multiple ports. If you're talking about running DHCP or assigning Static IP addresses to get to the web then that's totally different.
