I currently do not have DSL internet, but I will be upgrading to it in a year or so. Right now, I want to set up a simple peer to peer network to link four computers, that are all running Windows. I want to share files, a printer, and an internet connection. When I get DSL, I will connect my router (alas, it only has four ports, and I don't have a DSL modem right now, so I can't use it. I got it for free) to my network, and the so the computers will have DSL. The problem is that I have no experience with networking.
How much will something like this cost? How would I go about doing this?
Thanks in advance, Zack

fairly easy! hook all the computers to the router then click start then go to my network places if not listed then go to control panel then network places! once there, there will be a thing on the side saying something about setting up network a little window will come up and walk you through the process! (it is called a wizzard) and in this you will get to setup printer internet everything! do this on all of the computers you are hooking up to the network!
i got 1 desktop and one laptop for wireless! it was fairly easy! the disk that comes with the router, it is only there for putting ip address and other info! you will need to set that up!!
