You can have several in one computer if you wish to. Most common motherboards have one built-in these days, and you just buy additional cards if you require more. The simplest way to share an Internet connection is to buy a router. Dlink routers cost around $50, and sometimes less on sale. If you aren't doing anything fancy (i.e. no static IP addresses, no inbound connections, your ISP provides a simple DHCP server for customer use, etc) you may not have to do any setup at all. Just plug the router into your modem and plug the computers into the router. -- MELVILLE THEATRE ~ Melville Sask ~ http://www.melvilletheatre.com
