I have 4 machine, 3 running win xp pro and 1 win xp home edition. At the
moment it is set up to ICS. I want to set up to networking where any of the
four computer can connect to the internet without getting connection from the
host computer. I have a ADSL MODEM with one port at the moment sharing to 3
computers and an 100mb ethernet switch with 5 ports. Do I need some more
hardware to configure my network? Please help me on how to set up? thanks a
lot...
 
Your best bet is to buy a router and connect the ADSL modem to the router as
input and the four computers to the router. Then each system can go online
without interfering with the others.
 
Hi! jerry,
thanks for your help. Just want to know also if is it possible for me not to
use a router and use only my 100mb ethernet switch? to connect to my ADSL
modem? and do I need to use the CD set up from my provider to each computer?
thanks a lot.
