Buy a wireless DSL router and connect the units to the wireless Access point. The access point will also typically have 4 or more ethernet ports.

The router will need to (simply) programmed with your DSL username, etc. for its settings. Then it takes care of everything else.

Dlink DI-614+ is an example of such a device.

by the way, can we make use of non-wireless router? wireless is kinda expensive and its out of the budget hehehe =P

yes either get a wired router with as many ports as you want, or get a switch and attach it to the router for the rest of the ports you need

I tried to remain child-like, all I acheived was childish.

Typical home setup is:

ISP -- modem -- router -- =switch=

PC1 PC2 PC3[/tt]

Sometimes the router and switch come combined as one device.

Your choices are to share the connection is software, or use a hardware broadband router.

I vote complete agreement with all above who recommended using a hardware broadband router.

As you should know about options, see:

But it is simply not worth using anything but hardware for this problem.
