Just that, but many ISPs do not endorse and some actively discourage the use of network hookups for sharing of broadband. Dialup ISPs generally do the same.

You can share your connection just by plugging all those items together. However, most ISPs only send out a couple IP addresses to each hookup, so you are best off having your router issue IPs to each Mac/PC. That way your ISP only sends one IP to your house but all your computers get access.

But!
I can't (they say) connect my home network. I have a SMC Barricade router
and a Freidlinet Hub. What else do I need?
