You need to set up a little gateway for your home, use debian and iptables, make sure to install debian with kernel 2.4 to use iptables.
This will let you share your internet connection with all your pc at home.
You can take an old crap machine to get this function work or your debian box. On each computer you need one network card and maybe another depending on your dsl settings. Precise if your using adsl with usb or Ethernet.
I hope I helped a little.

Subject: Networking Help for an Absolute Beginner Please
I need basic references to get started.
The problem: My daughter's company has instructed her to install DSL to
facilitate working from home when she is on-call. She is a system
manager for a complex Tandem computer network - i.e. a computer wiz who
doesn't know or care beans about Windows or Debian.
At present our home has three standalone PC's and two internet service
providers - mine using Debian, my daughter's using Windows (internet
browsing and online banking) , and my grandsons' using Windows (homework
and gaming). I am a retired physicist who likes to play with hardware
and keeps everything running. Until now there was no need to network
and I have paid no attention to the subject. Now I need to learn fast
and make the necessary hardware decisions. I would appreciate any
comments or suggestions.
