I would like to do this with a switch, not a router. I know it's possible, because I've seen it done...I just don't know how to go about it. I have a DSL modem hooked up to the uplink on our switch, and three computers connected to the switch. Anyone have any solutions? Thank you.

Put 2 NICs into one of your PC, this will be your server...

Connect the modem to one of the NIC on this server PC, and other NIC will go to your network... Next, setup your network between your other PCs and this server PC...

After your network is complete, run some NAT software on the server PC to share the connection with the other PCs... Some example of NAT software include Windows ICS or Sygate, etc...

Remember, in order for your other PCs to access the DSL modem, your server PC has to be on...
