What kind of Internet connection? Dialup? Broadband?

If dialup, you aren't going to have a very good experience with that many
users. And it's hard to find analog modem routers these days.

If broadband, buy a decent broadband/firewall gateway appliance (see NetGear
FR114P for one option). It can do DHCP and NAT as well as provide your
network with perimeter security from the Internet connection.

Ooopss... sorry.. i forgot to mention bout the internet connection... Im
using DSL. So, how to configure the modem ? Should I connect 1 PC directly to
the modem to setup the modem ? Thanks.

No.
Get a broadband gateway/router with a built-in stateful inspection firewall,
such as the model I mentioned.

Internet modem --> gateway/firewall --> switch/hub. Plug all computers into
the hub/switch.
