What do I need to do to get both my computers hooked into my DSL?

[DeepBlue]

I have two computers and one ADSL, both the computers have NICs and my DSL modem is connected to my computer through its NIC. I don't have any static IPs and so my ISP requires me to log in to gain access to the Internet. My question is, what will I need to get both my computers online through my ADSL? Will I need two static IPs and a hub or just a hub? Please provide a link to a site that sells hubs for this kind of thing if you can.

alright.. first you need to have your own LAN set up. Then u can just use some software like SyGate on the computer with the DSL and share it to the other. or you can purchase a cable/dsl router and hook em up to there.

get a hub, dsl modem hooks up to the uplink port
two computers hook into any of the other ports on the hub
install wingate

make sure you can see the computers in network neighborhood before you instal wingate
follow directions at the wingate website if you cant figure it out

Nevermind, I went to the site and checked it out. After I get my hub I will try it out for 30 days and then possibly buy it.
