Why not using an Ethernet router/gateway? Linksys has the 4 ports,
non-wireless for around $50. You just plug it to your cable/DSL modem, and
then connect your computers to it and it works. The default configuration is
set to make it a DHCP server. If you need PPPoE, you just launch your
preferred web browser, connect to it, set your user ID and password, save
your configuration and you're done.
