Thread: Starting out

I am reguLar subscriber of Digit I am going to start a cyber cafe, I can install LAN using a switch for 5 computers, But I do not know how to share singLe internet connection among 5 PCs.will I be able to use internet connection on all PCs if I connect DSL cabLe (CabLe inter¬net) to the switch.

A switch will not be able to dis¬tribute internet connections to your five PCs. With a switch, you'll need to setup a primary server that receives the internet connection and then distrib¬utes it other PCs through the switch using Internet sharing. You will need two LAN cards on the primary server for this kind of setup. A easier solution would to purchase an ADSL router that has multiple wired ports to connect to the different PCs directly,
