Can 3 computers use the same IP and one connect to MSN
Zone and play LS2003? I like to play online golf. We live
in an apartment block with 2 others. We can connect to
one IP from a satellite dish, so the speed will be good.
But I don't know if I play golf will that stop the other
two people from accessing the Internet?

Get a NAT router, or use one of the computers with ICS (Internet
Connection Sharing) enabled and through which the other computers access
the Net (i.e., you're using that always-on computer as a replacement to
the NAT router). If you use ICS you must leave that computer on anytime
someone else wants to access the Net through it, other users will incur
outages when there are hangs, freezes, and reboots on the host running
ICS, and you need 2 NICs in the ICS host (one for your internal network
and another for the external Net connection so the ICS host can act as a
bridge; see http://support.microsoft.com/?id=265728). Rather than pay
for another NIC, just use the same money to get a NAT (Network Address
Translation) router.
