i have another networking issue ....

small network having 3 comps connected via hub for LAN, now 1 has a broadband conx but for this the LAN cable needs to be disconnected now is it possible for me to put the broadband cable into the hub and then the LAN cable can be connected to the broadband pc and i can access the net and the LAN :?

internet sharing is just a by-product and is not the main purpose ... internet and LAN should be accesible on 1 pc

Just get another ethernet card for any one of the system which u like to make the internet sharing system. Then connect the three system in LAN nd share the internet.
This way all 3 system will be in LAN nd all of them ll have internet. The cost of local 10/100 ethernet card is bout 200/-
