Okay, I am getting DSL and always have been interested in setting up a LAN party so that I can play UT or Q3 with my buddies here at my house and play online at the same time so that we can play with more people. What is the best method for this? Are there any websites that go into this subject with more detail?
Thanks,
madfeetch :D

First off, get the external router if it's available. Avoid the internals, they suck for sharing a connection.

If you're running in bridging mode, you'll need a broadband router, as you'll only have one IP address (unless, of course, you get a static block).

Other than that, just grab an 8 port 10/100 hub or switch, hook it all up, & go.
