I have Comcast Road Runner cable. I get my ip address via dhcp. That part had been set up already. Sharing the connection didn't work. I would like to set up the pc to share the connection to 5 other pc's in the house. I'm guessing that I need to assign ip addresses to the other 5 machines via dhcp from my server, but I can't find any way to configure that.

What don't work? The sharing or your connection to the Internet?
I've read a message sometime ago about DHCP...
I don't know what kind of connection do you have, but I remember that if you use
a connection from At Home, you receive, besides the dinamic ip address, a host
name, and without that host name your connection don�t work.
