I am currently installing a small office network of 3 PC's on a per-peer network. One PC is connected to the internet via ISDN. For all other PC's to share this connection, must I use a router or will a hub work provided the PC with internet connection is switched on.
Thanks for the answers

Using a little router/proxy is your best bet. You can use internet connection sharing or some other 3rd party software on the pc with the connection but a hardware solution is going to give you the best performance and you should be able to get onewith a built in 4 port hub for probably like $100 or $150. Off the top of my head i think Linksys and Multitech both make a suitable unit.

I agree that you should have a router/firewall on your WAN connection, but I don't think Linksys type companies make them for ISDN. You will probably spend quite a bit more than $150 and will more than likely need to hire an experienced tech to configure it for you; ISDN is world apart from DSL.
