Hi there,

I would like to link 4 Pc's together for fast file share also paired with printer and internet.

I need file sharing between 4 pc's and printing service for all computers (or at least one computer) and all computers need internet from router.

Any ideas ? Or do I need some hub and ethernet cables ? Picture on link - http://postimg.org/image/b2dtugbxl/

Are they all connected to a central router?

Do they all run the same operating system (i.e. all Windows 7/8)?

From your edited in pic, trivial.

ISP -> modem/router -> devices. If you need more than the 4 usual LAN ports on a typical router, a switch will work.
Depending on what printer you have, it can attach directly to the router, and be visible on the LAN.

This is a very typical home setup.

Or is there something I'm not seeing here.

If you are running Windows 7/8 - you can create a homegroup - and have your computers join and share files/printers. This is by far the easiest setup - and as USAF suggested, the cabling is straight forward.
