Things to get:
1) Ethernet card for your PC
2) Small 10baseT hub (depending on how many machines
you want to connect dictates the port quantity)
3) Proxy software. This runs on the PC and acts as an
intermediary for all the other machines on the network
to access the internet from the single IP that your
DSL provider will be giving you. I recommend the free
ware proxy server by JanaProxy. It is smooth, clean
and even allows you to set up email alias's
4) whatever DSL stuff your provider sets you up with
Once everything is working, you can then hook up as
many computers through your DSL connection as you like
(limited only by the number you set in your Proxy
software!)
That's it in a nutshell!
