the best way will be star topology.
Use a HUB or switch...it will cost U around 600-700.

1) Ethernet/ LAN port switch OR HUB

2) Straight climped LAN wires.
1-->> one meter straight climped to connected HUB/Switch to modem.
3-->> straight climped LAN wires to connected computers to HUB/ Switch (Length according to distance).

3) LAN card on all system.
Price -->> RS. 150/- each

Check system for LAN port, most motherboard have onboard LAN card.

No..U dont need to keep any system On for internet access on other system.

Do like this:
1) connect modem to switch using LAN cable.
2) connect all computer to switch using LAN cable.
3) give power to switch.

Done!!!

All LAN cable should be striaght climped.

ask for LAN cable and straight climped.

Support for 100 m wire will depend on modem capability.

[amit2005]

Support for 100 m wire will depend on modem capability.

[ravi_9793]

General modem can't support 100m wire.
Give a trial ...and if it doest not work..than U may need to buy switch or router.

[amit2005]

[ravi_9793]
