One ISDN line 4 PCs

[Sparci]

My friend has recently installed BT's Business Highway Box to a small office he is currently setting up.

He is going to have a total of 4 Pc's in this office which can be easily enough connected via a small switch and Cat5.

The problem is he would like all these to have internet access via the ISDN, which is hard-wired to the usb port of one of the machines, meaning currently only one Pc has interent access. Can i make this PC a proxy and point the other 3 machines to it in any way?

It is possible you could even use a USB capable router. But any of the software-based connection sharing methods should work:

You can use Internet Connection Sharing to make the dual-homed machine a gateway. Google it up - it's dead easy to get to work. Make sure you have a decent firewall on the gateway pc.

Get an ISDN router should be loads going cheap on ebay now ADSL has replaced ISDN for the more discerning internet user.

A cisco 803 router would do this with no problems and has a 4 port hub built in as well.
