You only need the 1 router like Dan B said. There's be enough ports on there for your setup. | |

4 or 8 ports probably, should be about £25-30 for the router, £10-20 for the cabling i guess, not too much, most routers come plug n play these days too, so wouldn't need much setting up if you're all using XP | |

how much do you think it would cost me in total to set up a system like this? | |

very true, but i was talking about a network that doesnt use a router. Like mine at home. | |

If he's using a router, there won't be anything on the network that would be referred to as a "gateway machine", so ICS isn't required. And I think you mean ethernet cable, rather than serial cable... | |

Siberia is right, all you need to do is get the net connection up and working on the main pc. Then (if you use Windows XP) enable ICS (internet connection sharing) on all the others. | |

well by that i mean setting the software up I.E the network settings on each computer and the router also so they can all talk to each other | |

Wireless, with encryption (to prevent someone sat outside your house using your connection for free). | |
