How do you network home computers?

Answer:

1. Go buy a piece of equipment called a "hub" or "switch" and some "ethernet cables"
2. Hook the computers to the hub with the cables.
3. Next you'll have to figure out how to assign your IP addresses.

Note, if you buy a "small home/office router" you just set all of the computers to use a network configuration called "DHCP." It's under your "network bindings"
