Sharing one connection

[oukie]

Hi peeps

Want to know how should my connection be.

Having two pcs setup in a lan with normal 8 port hub.

will only be getting a modem for time being.

How do i setup so that both pcs can share the connection?

and if it is to be usb? what will the difference be?

Most adsl accounts offer more than one concurrent connection. Set itthe router in bridged mode (how depends on the hardware) and have each computer dial in as required.

but will i connect modem to hub or to a pc?

Most of them them come with up to four ethernet ports so you probably wont require an additional hub.
