1 DSL connection, 2 98se machines w/nic, 1 hub.....

[Coombs]

Can I connect both machines to the internet, my nic rj45 port is being taken up by my DSL connection, so I can no longer connect to my hub for my home network. Would the DSL work if I put the lead into the hub and then connected all the other computers to the hub? Or do I need a second NIC card for my machines, as a host. If I do connect the DSL connection through my hub, what is going to be the host, I'm confused!!! I am a newbie to networking, so please be gentle.

Thanks in advance for your helps/comments,

Lee.
