Geezer in Dixons knows fuck all too, he just had a half hour course on how to sell 1200 quid gaming machines to grannies.

Get a wireless router that has at least four slots for pcs and XBox's ect. Plug your broadband into the router. You do not need separate isp IPs unless you want to be in some online game with two machines at the same time. Most ISPs will charge like $5 USD per month for a second IP and you need some additional hardware.

I have two pcs and one XBox on one router. Not wireless.

Yeah we got the young 'un a computer of her own at Xmas.Bit of a ball-ache getting the right router,though. PC WORLD were shite,trained to look blank at you,say I don't know,and serve someone else! Two different types of router apparently,one for BT and one if you're on cable like NTL.They're about £70-£90 from Maplins or Currys.
