Dear Abbasi,
If you are asking how to share an Internet connection using a router, first the router must include a hub section (multiple ports). It is then a matter of running a cable (typically category 5) to a port from each PC and enabling a network connection on the PC. If you are looking to share files or peripheral then you must implement a "share" function on the PC that has the device or files.


Sincerely,
Joseph Golan, RCDD
