1.for connecting all your PC you need ethernet card
for every PC. configuring the IP address ex.
192.168.1.0/24 if you do not understand the IP you
must read the basic of TCP/IP or i sugestion to you,
to enter this address for your PC's :
PC 1 : 192.168.1.1 netmask 255.255.255.0
PC 2: 192.168.1.2 netmask same above
PC 3:192.168.1.3 netmask same above
PC 4: 192.168.1.4 netmask same above

If your printer connected into you windows PC, you can
configuring Samba in you other Linux PC. and you can
use that printer for all PC.

for modem, you just one is enough, if your modem
connected into you Linux, you can use IP tables to
share your modem connection to internet, or if your PC
have installed mandrake you can configuring it with
mandrake control center, there you can configuring
your modem to share the connection to internet.
