How are you connecting to the network? Through a router, switch, hub, cable
wireless, wireless access point, ad hoc set up?

Howvevr I might add that you would have a more flexible stable Network if
the whole thing is around a Wireless cable/DSL Router. 802.11b Wireless
Router can be found on sales for less than $20.

Your problem is the USB Modem (USB modem do not work with regular cable/DSL
Routers).

If you plan in the near future to enlarge your network you would need to
invest in an External Ethernet Modem, and if your Broadband is DSL I would
do it even for single computer.

if you are using a USB modem you will have to use a proxy program loaded on
the computer connected to the mmodem in order to share your internet
connection. I once had the same setup and used wingate as my proxy and it
worked fine.

I suggest getting a modem with an ethernet connection though, it would make
your life alot easier.
