hi...I'm not sure where this thread goes but I know nothing about networking. I'm connecting to the net using DSL modem. I want to connect another PC to that modem so I can share the TCP. What is the best way of doing that?
I would like it to be a Peer to Peer thing instead of a server to workstation. Do I need a hub or a router, and is any configuration necessary??? Thank You.
 
Starting from dsl modem. You probably have an ethernet interface. You can either plug into a firewall or router. From this device, it will be easier to plug into a hub. This will be the distribution device for your network.

The firewall or router will have the tcp-ip address that the internet sees. Any questions, let me know.
