Answer 1

What's your internet connection? An ethernet cable from a dsl modem to your machine or something similar?



If so, run your internet connection directly into a router or switch and use that to feed all the computers in this node.

Otherwise, if your computer must be used to connect to the internet, install a second NIC [network interface card] in your machine and connect that to either a router or switch. Then run the network wizard and set your machine as the one connected directly to the internet. This turns on ICS [internet connection sharing].

Answer 2

First the 20 comps must be networked.if the 20 can communicate to each other then you are half way through.Then your ISP(internet service provider) should give you their

LAN IP range that you can use,Subnet Mask,The Default and Alternate DNS Server IPS. Configure your comps using these and you should go through.thanx
