The previous message refers to going directly into a hub instead. This would only work if you get more ip addresses from your ISP. Then each system needs to be setup with a unique IP address. Going directly into a hub could cause all sorts of problems for you and your ISP.

In order to hook all your PC's up to a DSL/Cablemodem line, you need to either get the Linksys Router/Hub or take a system and make a gateway out of it by putting two nics in it, setup one nic for the connector from the router and then use the second nic to a hub to network your machines. Since each machine needs a unique IP address, you will need software such as Wingate,on the gateway system to assign IP addresses via DHCP.
