Default Re: Sharing a broadband connection?

I concur with what has been said. For or $40 or so (maybe cheaper, it's been a while since I bought this stuff) you can get a Lynksys router to go between your modem/router and all the computers that you want to use ethernet on. I have one of these and I basically plugged it in and it worked. Giving me 4 ethernet ports and another port to go to the DSL or whatever broadband device you are using. You don't even need to install any software on the computers. There is an interface you can use to configure the Linksys box if needed, but I didn't need to use it.

This would leave the USB connect for the MAC guy unaffected.
