If any of you have experience setting up a home network with cable modem access I'd appreciate learning from your experience.

 

I'll be getting RoadRunner cable access this week and want to connect a desktop and a laptop, perhaps another desktop later.  A friend is using a LinkSys Cable/DSL 4-port router to share the single IP address among three computers and it seems to work fine.  Also, this circumvents the extra $10/month Time Warner wants for each additional IP address.  What I don't know is if it's possible to have network sharing of files and printers through this router.  And, is the router necessary or should I just use network cards and Win98 to network the desktop to the laptop?  How would Win98 handle the shared IP address?

 

Tips will be much appreciated.
