Dsl router?

You don't need one computer connected all the time. That would free up one computer... and save electricity? Oh, and you won't spend hours configuring NAT and stuff on a software router... a hardware router does these things automatically
If your router has an in-built hub, you can just plug your computers directly to it. If not, you will need a separate hub where you uplink the internet traffic from your router to your local LAN.

If you want a recommendation, here you go:
Netgear RT111
It is what I am thinking of getting when I get a cable connection

The Linksys is better than NetGear, with a lot more features and most importantly the built in switch. Its definitely worth it because you dont have to have one machine on all the time as the server/host, second your client machines will not lose connection at all(in case your host crashes or fails), third it'll easier on your utility bill.
I have nothing but positive things to say about my Netgear Gateway Router RT311, though not like the RT314, still very impressive. Very easy to setup (via Telnet for me), I have two servers running 24/7, for Intranet and Internet stuff via my ADSL connection. I also run gaming server for clan matches (my brothers clan for OGL/Counter-Strike).
<< I already have one, Linksys with a built in 4 port switch. >>
That?s a good one too, similar to the RT311/314. The fact that they both offer NAT, is the only real reason I needed to pick one up, I think the only reason why I choose to the Netgear over the Linksys is because of its metal case.
