You will need to build a netwrok via adding a server. (To do it properly)

Call your local PC supplier and ask about setting up a server for 10 workstations.

Another route, buy a network switch/router and just plug them all in to it and they will share resources.

Usually the best way to connect less than 25 computers together would be to create a workgroup, this does not require a server, the computers can be joined together using a hub or switch this way they can share printers and internet resourses, providint the printer has a network card installed as do each of the computers. Each computer must be given a different name and IP address unless you use a DCHP hub which will automatically assign an IP address to each computer.
