Ljuba,

I'm not totally reading what your first question is, but I gather it's related
to Windows Networking and file sharing. See if this article is any help.

Second, for the head computer, run the Network Setup Wizard, and choose:
This computer connects directly to the Internet. The other computers on my
network connect to the Internet through this computer.
Then run the NSW on the other computers, and choose:
This computer connects to the Internet through another computer on my network or
through a residential gateway.
The head computer runs Internet Connection Sharing, which makes it a residential
gateway.

Third, you can (CAN) run IPX/SPX, or NetBEUI. But be aware of the limitations.

And do it correctly.
