AH>> Scenarion 2
AH>> You get one address from your ISP.  Assign that address to computer 
AH>> 2.  Connect all of them with network cabling.  Set up private net
AH>> addresses on all of your machines (such as 192.168.1.XXX where 
AH>> XXX goes from 1 to 255).  Set up a proxy server on computer 2 
AH>> to accept Internet requests from your private net addresses and 
AH>> relay them to the Internet using computer 2's 'real' Internet 
AH>> address.  The 'router' address for your private net machines will 
AH>> be computer 2's private address.  The 'router' address for computer 
AH>> 2 will in turn point to the 'real' Internet address on computer 
AH>> 2 (which is your ISDN hookup or whatever).
 DR> 4th scenario -
 DR> get In-Joy and register it.  This provides IP aliasing, and you don't
 DR> have to bother with stupid proxy...
