    Yes, you can get for all your computer through one connection of internet. You have get switch and get a cross cable or normal cable then connect one end to switch and another one to computer's Ethernet port then put the IP address to another computer.

    Get a broadband router. That's the easiest and best way. A hub or switch will not allow for sharing of the internet connection without using some sort of sharing software. It also makes the configuration more complex.

    With a broadband router, you just plug in the Cable modem and your PCs and you are pretty much good to go. If your laptop has WiFi (wireless) capability and you want to use that you will NEED a wireless router.
